Château Beaumont
About Château Beaumont
Château Beaumont may be considered cru bourgeois, rather than the rarefied Cru Classe, but don't let the Classification decided in 1855 deter you if you want reliable drinking Bordeaux. This is one of the leading cru bourgeois from the Haut-Medoc and is a smart buy for value claret.
One of the largest estates in the Médoc, the Beaumont estate was first established in 1772 under the ownership of Henri Labarthe, who started clearing the land to plant vines. By 1824, planting was complete and the estate began its sojourn in wine production, though ownership continued to change hands. From 1830 to 1847, the estate was owned by Marquis d’Aligre, one of the wealthiest men in France, who tripled the acreage of the estate. Parisian industrialist Joseph Germain left his mark in the history of the Château when he managed to elevate the wines of Château Beaumont to the top tier of the Médoc Crus Bourgeois classification. Château Beaumont is currently owned by Grands Millésimes de France, who also own Château Beychevelle.

James Suckling (91-92)A juicy and pretty wine with berry and chocolate character, a medium body and a clean finish. Clearly better than the 2015. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (91-93)The 2019 Beaumont impresses on the nose with intense blackberry and briary aromas, sous-bois and tobacco, all whilst maintaining its delineation. The palate is supple and silky on the entry. There is well judged acidity, plenty of cedar and seaweed, tinged black fruit and a spicy finish. Now, this is a bloody great Beaumont. |

James Suckling (92-93)A linear and polished young red with compact, silky tannins that are polished and beautiful. Lots of blackberry, blackcurrant, mushroom and spice character. Very solid wine from here. |

Jeb Dunnuck (92)I loved the 2022 Château Beaumont, a richly textured, medium to full-bodied, concentrated 2022 that does everything right. Darker currants, smoky cherries, spicy wood, and leather-like notes all define the aromatics, and it's nicely balanced, with plenty of mid-palate depth and velvety tannins. Count me in as a fan. The 2022 is 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot. |
