Château Belles-Graves

Château Belles-Graves sits in Lalande-de-Pomerol, the Libournais appellation that neighbors Pomerol across the Barbanne stream. The terroir here—clay and iron-rich soils over gravel—favors the Merlot-driven blends that define the region's character: supple, structured wines with dark fruit and mineral grip. The estate's Cuvée X marries Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc into a wine of depth and complexity. Its sibling, the Lalande-de-Pomerol, leans on Cabernet Franc and Merlot for a leaner, more elegant expression. Both have drawn assessment from Decanter, Wine Enthusiast, and Wine Spectator, reflecting their standing among serious Bordeaux offerings.
