Chateau Bellegrave reveals a red wine which expresses the Pomerol terroir

The estate

Jean Bouldy acquired Chateau Bellegrave in Pomerol in 1951. Today, Jean-Marie Bouldy represents the third generation of his family at the estate, and runs this beautiful property on the right bank of Bordeaux with his wife and children, Aurelie and Jean-Baptiste.

The vineyard

The Chateau Bellegrave vineyard covers 8.5 hectares of vines. It is located in the southwest of the Pomerol appellation. Chateau Bellegrave is planted with 75% Merlot, supplemented by 25% Cabernet Franc. In 2001, Jean-Marie Bouldy began an informal conversion to organic viticulture. In 2009, the Chateau Bellegrave vineyard fully converted to organic farming with the ECOCERT certification.
