Sweet white wines, full-bodied reds... Bélingard steps up quality to bring fine flavours to discerning tastebuds

Who hasn’t seen Bélingard? One of the most spectacular viticultural sights, it is a promontory in the form of a terrace jutting out in the midst of undulating hills overlooking the valley. “It’s Tuscany!” a great many visitors declare. However, it isn’t Tuscany, but the Château Bélingard, champion of the Bergerac and Monbazillac vineyards. Ten kilometres from Bergerac in the heart of the village of Pomport, Bélingard invites you to visit and taste its wines.
Laurent and Sylvie de Bosredon will be delighted to share their little empire, recounting the fascinating secrets surrounding the history of this “magic” spot. Be it Celtic (15th century BC) or the Middle Ages, history has constantly intervened in the lives and the vineyard of Bélingard. It is in this context that the wines of Château Bélingard are patiently prepared. The vineyard is planted to red and white grape varieties producing both superb dry as well as generous sweet whites, also deep-coloured reds and iridescent rosés. Take for example the Château Bélingard Cuvée Ortus 2005, a Côtes de Bergerac AC. Standardbearer for the estate, it has a deep robe, almost black, well concentrated fruit sustained by vanilla and coconut within a remarkable, perfectly silky, tannic structure. A great vintage and a top-class wine for long cellaring. You might also be enticed by the Monbazillac AC, the perfect dessert wine, or perhaps an apéritif, vinified from grapes lovingly picked by the harvesters when the miracle of noble rot has worked its magic. All Bélingard wines have won multiple trophies and medals at international tastings.
