Pauillac: Chateau Bellegrave Red 2013
Tasting Notes
Chateau Bellegrave's responsiveness during the harvest, coupled with rigorous sorting during blending enabled them to produce a very fruity, attractive wine.
The Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, which constitute the majority at the estate, were ripe and with sufficient structure to provide great balance.
