Château Bellegrave du Poujeau, Haut Medoc 2016 Napa Valley savory and rather evolved -90 Wine Enthusiast This vineyard in the southern part of the Mdoc is so close to Bordeaux city that only a small part has been saved from buildings. The wine is worth the effort, rich with fine tannins and wood aging flavors that sustain the ripe blackberry fruits and smoky character. The wine should age well, ready to drink from 2022.
