Chateau Beaumont Magnum 2020

Chateau Beaumont, Cru Bourgeois Haut Médoc, Bordeaux, France, 2020 Magnum

Grapes: 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 41% Merlot, 8% Petit Verdot, aged 12-14 months in French oak (30% new)

Located on the left bank of the Gironde, between the communes of Margaux and Saint-Julien, Château Beaumont draws its finesse and its delicacy from the deep gravels of the best soils of the Haut-Médoc. Château Beaumont has opted for integrated viticulture, following the technical specifications of Terra Vitis®, aiming to produce quality grapes with the greatest respect for the environment.

"Tobacco, cigar box, cedar and peppery red currants pop with no effort in the nose. The fresh, sweet, vibrant, round palate is even better with its layers of sweet, earthy, tobacco stained fruit and fresh mint. This is already a delight to taste, and it will be even better with a few years of age. This is clearly a big step up here in quality and character and is easily the best vintage of Beaumont I have ever tasted."
