Château Belgrave 5th Classified Growth - Haut Médoc - 2005
In this year when all the conditions were met to obtain an exceptional vintage, the work, always numerous in the vineyard, perfectly controlled the vigor and the load of the vine. They also led to the best balance between the requirements of the plant and those of the fruit (size of 4 to 8 buds, foliar leaf area studies, adapted tillage, green harvesting and finishing thinning). The yields remain limited, the berries are of a rare richness in phenolic components and in sugars. The aromatic intensity is amplified by the high day / night thermal amplitudes to achieve remarkable power.
