Château Belgrave, 5ème Grand Cru Classé en 1855, Haut-Médoc
A small but pretty wine chateau, classed 5th growth in 1855. The building itself was constructed in the 18th century. The wine estate covers some 55 hectares of vines just on the border to Saint Julien. It is managed by the Dourthe company who has recently invested substantial sums in the wine making facitlites in order to bring the wines up one more notch in quality.

This is a new investment at belgrave, not because they did not previously sort but because this is a table for sorting grapes that have been machine harvested, which is unusual. They will test it for the 2004 harvest. It is staffed with 5 "grape sorters"	040916-132-3255.jpg The brand new cuverie at Belgrave	040916-132-3257.jpg Everything is shining and new
