91 points “A classy cru bourgeois from Cussac just south of St-Julien. With virtually equal shares of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot spiced up with 3% Petit Verdot this is a suave Haut-Médoc with bramble fruit and classic cool Bordeaux tannins while retaining the generosity and balance of the 2016 vintage.” – Decanter

91 points “The 2016 Beaumont has quite a powerful bouquet with dense black fruit boysenberry and cedar traces of pencil lead developing with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin quite spicy compared to its peers then it reins everything back in for what is a refined finish. Classy stuff but I would afford this a couple of years in bottle.” – Neal Martin for Vinous

Neal Martin tasted Château Beaumont 2016 in October 2018 so it has now had that extra couple of years in the bottle and we can confirm that his advice was spot on because this Bordeaux is drinking splendidly.

Currently an under-the-radar Haut-Médoc but the glamorous Château Beaumont won’t remain that way for long. Big investment from its co-owners Suntory and Castel (who also manage Château Beychevelle and are titans of the industry) has seen the quality go through the roof. 2016 was a spectacular vintage for Left Bank Bordeaux making this an intriguing proposition especially considering the price.
