The Château Belgrave vineyard is located on the edge of the Saint-Julien appellation and is separated from Château Lagrange only by a stream. The vineyard benefits from two deep gravel ridges and a beautiful diversity of soils offering excellent conditions for the maturity of all the estate's grape varieties.

The vineyard developed rapidly from the 18th century onwards with the Coutanceau family, who gave their name to the first wines of the estate. In 1845, Bruno Devès, a wine merchant from Bordeaux, restructured the property, developed the vines on the best gravel terroirs, had the buildings, cellars and vat rooms and the current castle built on the site of the former hunting lodge, giving it the name "Bellegrave".

Classified as a 5th Grand Cru in 1855 under the name of Coutanceau, it definitively became Château Belgrave at the beginning of the 20th century under the direction of Marcel Alibert, founder of the Syndicat des Crus Classés and owner of the estate for nearly 30 years.

The presence of a ferret on the casings of the Château's wines and the name given to its second wine, Diane de Belgrave, express the link between wine and hunting.
