Chateau Beaumont 2016, Haut-Medoc Cru Bourgeois, France

GROWER DIRECTS

Ruby colour, very deep thanks to the good extractability of the anthocyans. The nose is generous, fruity and complex. The attack is silky on the palate with a tannic structure present, all in balance. The lightly oaky fruit aromas are very elegant and contribute to the long aromatic finish. A blend of 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot and 8% Petit Verdot.   winery

The vineyard is in the heart of the Haut-Médoc, midway between Margaux and Saint-Julien. The wine is solid, dark and with plenty of firm tannins. At the same time, it has concentrated black fruits and a fine blend between black-currant acidity and ripe jammy fruitiness. Drink from 2020.  Editors' Choice WE 92.   trade
