Traditional vinification, vatting for 3 to 4 weeks in cement vats. It has aged in oak barrels for 12 months. Château Belles Graves presents an excellent aptitude for aging at least 10 years

Taster´s notes

Red colour with terra cotta highlights. On the nose, it is elegant and balanced, with slight rose and violet aromas. On the palate, it is well-balanced, and generous, with soft, smooth and long tannins. We recommend pairing it with lamb chop, steak, grilled red meats, filet mignon of pork and hard cheeses. We suggest a serving temperature of between 16ºC and 18º

The Winery

The Theallet family is the owner of Château Belles Graves, an estate built in the 18th century located in Lalande de Pomerol of about 12 hecaters. Upon the death of Jean Theallet, it is his wife Hermine who continues the business. In 1973, she gives her two daughters, Marie-France Theallet and Christine Piton, joint ownership of the estate, whilst continuing management of the business itself.
