Tasting notes
The 2021 Château Bellegrave is a winner in the vintage, offering lots of up-front darker berry fruits as well as some floral, chocolate, and herbal notes. Medium-bodied on the palate, it has a great mid-palate, beautiful overall balance, and ripe tannins, all pointing to successful, most likely outstanding effort that will have 10-15 years of longevity.

The 2021 Bellegrave (Pomerol) has a floral nose of black cherries, blueberry and light violet aromas; I am just looking for a bit more terroir expression here. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, and dark chocolate and mint notes surface on the finish. Not bad, though it needs to develop a little more finesse.
The 2021 Bellegrave (Pomerol) is a plush, exotic Pomerol packed with dak fruit, chocolate, spice, new leather, licorice and mocha. The 2021 is not exactly subtle, but it packs a good deal of punch. There's plenty of immediacy here.
In the René sector of Pomerol, with clay-sandy-gravel soils, this is a light but expressive and supple example of Pomerol, a little soft through the mid palate but with gentle raspberry and red cherry fruits.
