88% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc

This velvety and refined rouge is approachable now despite having years of beautiful life ahead. Its notes of black cherries, stones, and a touch of tobacco, along with its fine acidity, make it a versatile red at table, but also wonderful on its own. The finesse and subtlety that characterize this wine are matched by its complexity and depth.

Situated in Lalande de Pomerol, just north of Pomerol, Château Belles-Graves is rich with history: the vineyards here date to at least the 16th century, when they first appeared on a map of the region, and the building’s edifice as we know it today dates back to the 18th century, before the French Revolution.

The vineyards average forty years of age and are planted on slopes that descend to the east, south and west of the estate. Though they sit just across a small river from some of the famous estates of Pomerol, their greatness comes from their own terroir of varied clay and gravel where flint, quartz, and mica offer distinct mineral components to each parcel. Yields are kept low, the maceration is long, and the wines are never filtered.
