2018 Château Beaumont, Cru Bourgeois Haut-Médoc

The 2018 Beaumont is balanced, with cool blue fruit and good weight, dark cherries and mulberries, and also a touch of balsamic and coffee. Wonderfully rendered tannins, and impressive length. Surely the best ever wine from here.

88-90/100 – Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Beaumont leaps from the glass with vibrant black and red cherries and warm cassis notes plus an undercurrent of bay leaves, lavender and pencil shavings. Full-bodied, firm and grainy, the mid-palate is taut and muscular with plenty of energy and an herbal lift on the finish.

The 2018 Beaumont is dark, racy and voluptuous from the very first taste. Dark chocolate, plum, cedar, cloves and leather all infuse an attractive, succulent Haut-Médoc. The blend is 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, and it is the Merlot that really seems to give the wine its mid-palate texture and overall depth.

91/100 – Jane Anson, Decanter

Firm, deep and well extracted, this is a rich purple colour with sweet blackberry fruits on the nose along with some gentle spicing. It's an elegant and extremely classic Médoc wine. The tannins are already smooth and starting to integrate with the fruits. The quality bodes well for the medium-priced wines in this vintage. One of the value picks of the Médoc.
