Château Beaumont
Cru Bourgeois Haut-Médoc Supérieur Red Bordeaux Blend
Haut-Médoc, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
2022 vintage. This large estate is co-owner by Castel and Suntory (the group also owns Beychevelle), and this 2022 represents great value for money. 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot. Compared to the Castel-owned Barreyres tasted alongside, Beaumont features a more black fruit personality,with more concentration and complexity,for only 1 euro more. Terrific value.

Welcome relief following a couple of undrinkable older Bordeaux, my Sunday evening finally got underway with this 2019 Beaumont, opened as a backup and the first of four bottles that I bought en primeur for the modest sum of £8.50 apiece. I’ve had mixed experiences with Beaumont in the past, but the 2019 represents a notable uptick in quality, and I thoroughly enjoyed a few glasses of this over the course of the evening. It’s fresh, generous, modern, suave; plush blackcurrant with a touch of graphite, everything nicely knitted together. This is lovely claret for the money and a nice bottle to enjoy over the next decade or so.
