Château Belgrave 5th Classified Growth - Haut Médoc - 2012
After several years of significant water deficit, 2012 started with an exceptional rainfall, fortunately well absorbed on Belgrave's deep, filtering deep soils. Experience and patience have been our guides; we stayed on alert, reasoning the work in the vineyard according to the health pressure generated by a weather disturbed. We were rewarded by the return of an ideal weather at the end of July, which allowed us to start the process of ripening under the best conditions: sun and temperature differences day / night, and as often in Bordeaux a very beautiful month September which "makes the wort": the skins have refined, the aromatic complexity has been revealed.
