"16.5 Points, Jancis Robinson MW
A consistent performer. Good, fresh, juicy currant fruit, well-managed silky tannins. Chocolate on palate. Plenty of silk and texture here. Attractive balance. Lovely lively wine. (AB/SM Apr 2010)"
Located between Margaux and Saint Julien, Château Beaumont (114 hectares in a single block) overlooks the nearby Gironde Estuary.The Mansart-style Château was built in 1854. There have been twelve owners since then: a Breton aristocrat, a Honduran minister, a Parisian industrialist, a lieutenant-Colonel from Caracas, a Venezuelan senator and so on.
Château Beaumont now belongs to Grands Millésimes de France (GMF-Suntory-Ethias). Recent replanting in the vineyard and a newly renovated vat room reflect the estate's successful combination of state-of-the-art techniques and traditional Médoc winemaking methods. he château earned both Agriculture Raisonnée ("Sustainable Agriculture") and "Terra Vitis" certification in 2004, epitomising their emphasis on environmental protection and health. ©ugcb
