CHÂTEAU BELLEGRAVE BORDEAUX, FRANCE

From the Pauillac Appelation, located on the left bank of Bordeaux and home to some of the most famous and expensive wines in the world. The Château Bellegrave is located in the south of the municipality of Pauillac, between Château Latour, Pichon-Longueville and LynchBages. In 1954 Gabriel Meffre, originally from the Comtat Venaiss in the Vaucluse region of south-eastern France, a renowned nurseryman in search of places to sell his plants, discovered the Médoc and bought several estates in Saint-Estèphe, Pauillac and Saint-Julien. In 1997 his son, J.P Meffre, already the owner of Château Du Glana and Château Lalande in Saint-Julien-Beychevelle, bought the Bellegrave estate. Currently, his two sons, Ludovic and Julien, are responsible for the property. They balance modern methods with the respect for tradition, to ensure that Bellegrave expresses its potential to the full.
