Area under vine at the estate, from its technical sheet — it does not change from one vintage to the next. Each vintage’s blend, by contrast, departs from it: that figures on its own page. The estate does not publish the share of each grape variety: they are listed without proportions.

Footprint, parcels and their split are measured on the Compagnie Médocaine’s own parcel survey; elevation, slope and aspect on the Mapbox terrain-rgb digital terrain model, derived from IGN’s RGE ALTI over France. Compare with the blend on the technical sheet, at the top of the page: the two answer different questions.
A renowned hunting lodge under Louis XV and a Grand Cru Classé in 1855, Château Belgrave extends over a single unbroken vineyard surrounded by parkland and woods. Won over by the exceptional quality of its deep gravel, Dourthe has had the privilege of running the estate since 1979.
Terroir: deep gravel and gravel over clay. Total area: 60 ha.
| Vintage | Best score | Vintage character | Technical sheet |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 93-94 James Suckling | A dry, bright summer, tempered by cool nights, gave pure, balanced wines, more classic than sun-drenched. | — |
| 2023 | 94 James Suckling | July mildew followed by a hot September demanded strict selection: fleshy, aromatic wines, more approachable than 2022. | — |
| 2022 | 95 Decanter | Three heatwaves and extreme drought gave, against all odds, wines of exceptional concentration without harshness — the great sun-drenched year. | — |
| 2021 | — | Frost, mildew, then a cool summer brought back Bordeaux of old: taut, vibrant wines, shorter but elegant. | — |
| 2016 | 94 James Suckling | A very wet winter followed by a sun-drenched summer produced a rare balance, combining the depth of great years with genuine freshness. | — |
| 2009 | — | A sun-drenched season from start to finish gave opulent, fleshy wines, immediately appealing yet built for the cellar. | — |
