CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Vinous - "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. (91-93pts)"


James Suckling - "This is full and plush for an Haut-Medoc with medium to full body. Lots of blackberries and fresh herbs with redcurrants, too. Chewy, but polished. Give it two or three years to soften. Best after 2024."


Wine Enthusiast - "This estate has produced a fine, elegant wine. Black fruits and a hint of chocolate do not detract from the firm structure that is a fine passport for the future. Dense, dry but never excessive, this is a wine for medium-term. (90-92pts)"


Decanter - "Carefully extracted and well-balanced cassis fruits with attractive dark pepper and rosemary spices running through the palate. This has tons of Médoc signature, controlled tannins and fresh acidities, earthy touches stop it feeling overly polished."


Jeb Dunnuck - "This estate continues to make a delicious, nicely balanced wine. The 2019 Château Beaumont has lots of red and black currant fruits, plenty of spice, leather, and tobacco notes, medium-bodied richness, and a rounded, already hard to resist style on the palate. It's going to drink nicely for a solid decade. (88-90pts)"


Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "Casting a deep garnet-purple color, the 2019 Beaumont takes its time to reveal subtle notes of baked plums, blackcurrant pastilles and fruit cake with suggestions of damp soil, cardamom and fried herbs. The medium-bodied palate has a solid backbone of firm, chewy tannins and lively acidity supporting the black fruit preserves flavors, finishing with an herbal lift. (88-90+ pts)"
