Ferraton Père & Fils : Les Pichères 2020

An aromatic and fresh Haut-Médoc wine

The estate

Located in the Haut-Médoc appellation, this former 18th-century hunting lodge has become one of the most beautiful wine estates in Bordeaux. Château Belgrave belongs to the Compagnie des Vins de Bordeaux et de la Gironde (CVBG).

The vineyard

In the heart of the Médoc, these exceptional vines are planted on two deep gravelly hilltops and rest upon a clay and sandy-clay subsoil.

Château Belgrave 2021: Characteristics and tasting tips

The tasting

Colour

This wine showcases a beautiful inky colour, almost black, with purple highlights.

Nose

The nose gives off fresh, peppery and fruity (black fruit) fragrances.

Palate

The attack is lively and ample. Powerful and with a beautiful tension, the palate is seduced by this wine’s tannic structure, its velvety feel and its elegance. The finish is persistent and reveals delicious spicy notes.
