| Description: | 90 Vm / 89 Jd / 89 JS / 87-89 Wa / 88 Vm / 15.5 Jr. The 2021 Beaumont is a beautiful, expressive Haut-Médoc to drink now and over the next decade or so. Crushed flowers, red-toned fruit, spice, leather, tobacco and cedar open first. Aromatic and medium in body, with impeccable balance, Beaumont is very nicely done. Pretty floral overtones lift the finish. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media. Readers looking for a hidden little gem in the vintage will love the 2021 Château Beaumont, a medium-bodied, balanced, satisfying Haut-Médoc based on 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot. Ripe red and black fruits, saddle leather, tobacco, and cedary nuances all define this forward, ready-to-go, complex 2021 that's hard to resist today yet will keep for a solid decade in cold cellars.-Jeb Dunnuck. Offering up aromas of sweet berries, spices and loamy soil, the 2021 Beaumont is medium-bodied, lively and nicely balanced, concluding with a discreetly minty finish. The blend is dominated by an unusually high 65% of Cabernet Sauvignon. - William Kelley, Wine Advocate. The 2021 Beaumont has opened nicely on the nose since I tasted it from barrel: blackberry and cedar to the fore, aromatics with a spring in their step. The palate is medium-bodied with a firm entry. This is a strict Beaumont-classic in style, quite briny and saline with just a slightly "blocky" finish. The 2021 is in keeping with its showing from barrel…but an extra point for the uptick in the aromatics. - Neal Martin, Vinous Media. This is bright and cheerful, not delivering as smoothly as in the past few vintages but there is plenty to enjoy here. Everything in its place, well made with a touch of smoked almosts and grilled oak. 40hl/h yield. - Jane Anson. Fruity with red- and dark-fruit aromas. Supple and easy-going on the palate. Light structure but fine tannins. Pleasant early drinking. - Jancis Robinson. |
