On taking over the management of Château Belgrave in 1979, Dourthe set itself the ambitious task of returning this prestigious Haut-Medoc Grand Cru Classé to its former glory and making wines worthy of its rank. It was under the name of Château Coutenceau that the estate was classified as a 5 Grand Cru Classé in 1855. Contrary to what could be imagined, Château Belgrave does not owe its name to the superb gravel that makes up the soil and subsoil of the whole of the estate, but to the attachment of one of its British owners to the district of Belgravia in London where he lived. Thus it was that Château Coutenceau became Château Belgrave. The estate was renowned not only for its wines, but also for the abundant game that was to be found in its woods and the receptions given at the Château in the hunting season. This link between the estate and hunting explains the presence of a ferret the labels on the wines of the Château. Château Belgrave is one of the oldest crus in the Médoc, it is located in Saint-Laurent, on the border of Saint-Julien and the appellation is only separated by a stream. The vineyard with its 55 hectares in a single stretch was ranked as a 5Grand Cru Classé for the exceptional quality of its deep gravel. Michel Rolland is now the consultant Encologist at this Chateau. The harvest is traditionally picked by hand, using small trays, the grapes are put in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, while part of the wine is then matured in barrel on lees to preserve the aromas. Finally, ageing occurs in oak barrels between 15 to 18 months. This wine is a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot and displays all the concentration and finesse one has come to expect from this excellent Chateau, ripe fruit, excellent concentration, balanced tannins and a long lingering, dry finish. The 2001 vintage has intense zesty acidity and lovely dark fruit flavours that reveal a great smooth spicy tannic structure. Dense mouthfeel and a long finish complement this dark red wine.

Chateau Cantemerle 5eme Cru Haut Medoc Macau Bordeaux
Description: This unique soil and microclimat are reflected in the wine's personality. Cantemerle has a brilliant colour, a powerful bouquet, and a soft, lively flavour.

Cantemerle is therefore an ideal wine for the modern consumer who likes fresh tannins. However, it can also age extremely well. Fine, old vintages have impeccable class, with incomparable flavours of sheer elegance. Cantemerle therefore belongs to that rare category of the world's wines which can not only age, but also improve over several decades. (12 x 75 cl)
