Belgrave is managed by leading Bordeaux negoçiant CVBG who have employed the famous consultant Michel Rolland to drive considerable improvements from this formerly underperforming classed growth. Made in a modern, approachable style this wine again stands out from the pack at its price and status level - bright cassis and graphite on the nose, with a juicy palate and grippy but not aggressive tannins. Made for early pleasure rather than extended cellaring - from 2010-2014. 15.1 points (out of 20)

• En Primeur wines are still in barrel at the châteaux and are sold as ‘futures’ up to two years in advance of delivery. The price includes delivery in-bond to a dedicated storage account. Before your wine arrives in the UK you will have the option to specify duty-paid delivery to an address of your choice, but you will need to pay a release fee to cover duty, VAT and handling at the prevailing rates.

"Some toast and pepper on the nose. Quite noble fruit concentration. Round and silky fruit. Much better than most Haut-Médocs. Supple fruit with some zestiness. A little green on the finish but not bad. Oak a little obvious. 16+ points (out of 20)."

"Light and fruity, like the rest from this appellation, with some currant and mineral character. Short. 82-85 points."
