Château Beaumont, Haut Médoc, 2023
Always one of the most consistent and best performing wines from the Medoc, Beaumont hails from a 100 hectare plot surrounding the chateau in Cussac. The 2023 is a blend of 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 6% Petit Verdot and offers a juicy core of fragrant fruit, well managed tannins and a refreshing acidity. A thoroughly charming and well-constructed Beaumont, which will give lots of early to mid-term drinking pleasure.
critic reviews
The 2023 Beaumont has a very pretty, unpretentious but well-defined bouquet with blackberry, raspberry and light iris flower scents. The palate is medium-bodied with a fresh and quite sapid entry, just a touch of black pepper infusing the black fruit, segueing into a graphite-tinged finish. Delivers exactly what you want.
Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2023 Beaumont features notes of fresh redcurrants, raspberries, and underbrush plus hints of dried herbs and wet slate. The light to medium-bodied palate is refreshing and chewy, with lively red berry flavors and an herbal finish. The blend is 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, and 6% Petit Verdot.
Good quality, a little soft through the mid palate, but this has charm, and some balance, there are blackberry and red cherry fruits, soft tannins, well worked and charming, but drops and is overly oaked, drying finish. Grands Millésimes de France owner. Tasted twice. Bronze.
Aromas of sweet cassis and plums framed by a touch of creamy oak introduce the 2023 Beaumont, a medium-bodied, supple, soft and giving blend of 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 6% Petit Verdot. While this estate suffered from frost and mildew, for now it retains attractive purity of fruit in an easygoing style.
