Reviews:

• VertdeVin: The nose is aromatic, fruity and offers a small power, deepness and a fine grain. It reveals notes of ripe strawberry, wild blackberry and small notes of ripe raspberry associated with small touches of wild cassis, violet as well as very fine hints of grey pepper, nutmeg and a subtle hint of cardamom/spices. The mouth is fruity, fresh, mineral, well-balanced and offers a good definition, a juicy/acidulous frame as well as crunchiness. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of crunchy cassis, crunchy/juicy raspberry and small notes of small crunchy berries associated with fine touches of fresh violet, a hint of fresh iris as well as fine hints of cocoa/toasted. Good length. A very discreet hint of toasted almond on the finish.

Producer Information

Château Beaumont is a historic wine estate in the Haut-Médoc region, known for its red wine based on Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. It is one of the largest of all properties in Bordeaux in terms of vineyard size, covering 113 hectares (279 acres) of land. Viticulture at the Beaumont estate dates back to 1824. In 1849, it passed into the hands of the Bonnin brothers, who constructed the château in the Renaissance mansard style. Since 1986, Beaumont has been owned by the Grands Millésimes de France group, which is now a joint venture between Suntory and Castel Frères. The estate is located at Cussac between the communes of Margaux and Saint-Julien, on a single plot with deep sandy gravel soils. A little more than half of plantings are Cabernet Sauvignon, with the rest made up of Merlot and a small amount of Petit Verdot. The typical blend of the finished wine is broadly similar. In the winery, fermentation takes place in large temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. The grand vin spends 12-14 months aging in barrel prior to bottling. Château Beaumont has also made two junior cuvées: Château d’Arvigny and Les Tours de Beaumont.
