Critic reviews
"The 2025 Belgrave reveals an attractive bouquet of dark berries, cassis, mulberries and spice, becoming more floral with aeration. Medium- to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, it’s structured and tannic, with good length, concluding with a gently lead pencil–inflected finish. The gravelly terroir asserts itself more clearly than in recent vintages, lending the wine added finesse and a more defined mineral edge."
Yohan Castaing, April 2026, RobertParker.com
"The 2025 Belgrave has a well-defined, classically styled nose with cedar-infused black fruit, light touches of cigar box emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with rounded tannins, smooth in texture, hints of white pepper and a quite elegant, cohesive finish. Quite lovely."
Neal Martin, May 2026, Vinous.com
"The 2025 Belgrave is impressive. Aromatic, deep and layered, Belgrave has so much to offer. Blue-toned fruits, lavender, espresso and chocolate are front and center. The 2025 is juicy but quite structured. It appears to have a very bright future. Floral overtones extend the nuanced finish. Tasted two times."
Antonio Galloni, April 2026, Vinous.com
"A precise and characterful wine with aromas of black currants, black cherries and crushed stones. Medium-bodied with a juicy finish. Terrific wine. Only 13% alcohol. Cabernet sauvignon, merlot and petit verdot."
James Suckling, April 2026, JamesSuckling.com
"Deep plum colour, clear intensity and juice, this has the slate and graphite texture of the Left Bank coupled with well handled and impressive crayon, graphite, and cassis character. Harvest September 3 to 19. 32% new oak. Tasted twice, clear austerity that is consistent with an En Primeur sample. First year Penelope Godefroy technical director across the Dourthe Vignobles. 24hl/ha yield."
Jane Anson, April 2026, JaneAnson.com
"Juicy and lively, supple and fleshy with a strawberry juice vein – a little chalky still on the mid-palate – just losing some of the initial vibrancy but this has lots of tannin presence with a long, salty, cola grip. I like the depth and the frame, this is one that will benefit from ageing. Cool wild blueberry notes on the nose. Fully tannic but bouncy and soft, really cushioning with blueberry. I like the purity and focus, it’s a little light in terms of persistence but there’s balance and it'll round out. Harvest 3rd September until the 19th. 13%. A yield of 24hl/ha. Pénélope Godefroy now technical director across the Maison Dourthe portfolio."
