Bordeaux wine merchant Bruno Devez renovated the vineyard and cellar and built the current remains around 1850. He renamed the estate “Belgrave“ in honour of the high-quality deep gravel terroir, separated from the Saint-Julien appellation by a small stream.
Marcel Alibert, one of the estate’s illustrious owners eager to protect and showcase Médoc wines, went on to become the co-founder of the Crus Classés Syndicate and later the Winegrower’s Syndicate in the early XX century.
Since Dourthe took over management of Château Belgrave in 1979, a great deal of work, passion, and energy have gone into producing wines that showcase the estate’s rich history and the fine Médoc terroir
