2016 Chateau Beaumont Haut Medoc Cru Bourgeois 1x75cl

Antonio Galloni 85

The 2016 Beaumont is a solid wine, and it certainly has come together nicely during aging. Even so, it remains rather compact and narrowly built, especially compared to wines in its peer group. [Antonio Galloni, 18/01/2019]

Neal Martin 89

The 2016 Beaumont has a lively bouquet, concentrated and a little savoury in style. Open-knit, with touches of brown spice, this gains vitality in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with smooth tannins and fine acidity, though it just dips before the finish line, prompting me to dock a point. Tasted blind at the Southwold 10-Year-On tasting.

Wine Advocate 88

The 2016 Beaumont, owned by Suntory and Castel, has a rather conservative bouquet, a little backward and surly compared to its peers with undergrowth aromas coming through with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, quite lithe and agile in the mouth, a wine willing to go out and please and not worry too much about cellaring. Whilst it does not quite have the complexity of the 2015, it is still a mouthful of potentially delicious wine. [Neal Martin, 28/09/2017]

Tasted blind. Firm and lacking flesh. But it s fresh at least. [GV] (JR) [11/02/2026]
