Avaliação dos especialistas

Jeb Dunnuck:

Tasted on two separate occasions, the 2022 Château Beaumont is a beautiful Haut-Médoc based on 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot mostly from sandy soils. Given the challenging conditions of the vintage, it would be easy to assume this would be a subpar release (the vintage was particularly challenging for sandy soils), but you'd be mistaken. This offers impressive purity in its red, blue, and black fruits as well as notes of chocolate and scorched earth. With medium body, present yet ripe tannins, and outstanding length, it's going to drink well immediately on release and evolve for 10-12 years or more.

James Suckling:

Ripe yet fresh and refined on the nose, showing cassis, berries, plums, a touch of wet leaves and dark chocolate. Juicy and tight on the palate with medium body and firm, chalky tannins. Good length and balance here. Cabernet sauvignon, merlot and petit verdot. Drink in 2026.

Decanter:

Clear and pure, a lovely clean juiciness though the lightness in terms of fruit density doesn't quite match the tannins, which although are fine are quite present and dense with touches of liquorice, clove, cinnamon and dark chocolate that dominate and make this quite serious. It doesn't feel overworked, but it's still a bit compact and spiced with clear power underneath, although there is refinement overall. Tasted twice. Harvest 19 September-5th October. Yields 28hl/ha.

Falstaff:

Deep dark ruby, opaque core, purple reflections, brightening on the rim. Delicately savoury background of dark wild berryish fruit, subtle hints of vanilla and tangerine zest. Medium complexity, red cherries, a hint of dark nougat, light leafy savouriness on the finish.
