Chateau Belingard Reserve Bergerac Sec

On the banks of the Dordogne River lies the town of Bergerac. The vineyards are situated on the rolling hills near the river. The vines are deeply rooted in a variety of soil types, consisting of gravel, quartz, and calcareous clay. This allows the Sauvignon and Semillon grapes to develop beautiful characteristics. This makes the blend of these two grapes particularly elegant and pleasantly structured.

Characteristic wines from Chateau Belingard

Chateau Belingard is located in the heart of the Monbazillac and Bergerac wine region. The De Bosredon family has been working this land for over two hundred years. They use various grape varieties, including Sauvignon, Semillon, and Muscadelle for their white wines, and Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Malbec for their reds. Today, Laurent is at the helm, combining age-old traditions with the latest techniques to produce exquisite wines. The wines are balanced, fresh, and all full of character. For this Reserve wine, only the finest grapes from the vineyard are selected. After careful harvesting, the grapes are transported to the winery, where they undergo an eight-hour cold maceration. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks. Wooden barrels are deliberately avoided, as the oak notes would quickly become too dominant. Finally, the young wine is aged in tanks for several months to achieve greater complexity.
