Close to an even split of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, with 8% Petit Verdot, the 2018 Château Beaumont sports a deep purple color as well as impressive notes of blackcurrants, smoke tobacco and graphite. It's rich, nicely concentrated, has present, ripe tannin, plenty of depth, and a great finish.
Barrel Sample: 90-92

92pts Wine Enthusiast

Under the same management as Château Beychevelle in Saint-Julien, this estate is now showing its fine potential. The balance between Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot means vivid fruits as well as rich tannins. The wine should develop well but it will be best to wait until 2024.

91pts Decanter

Firm, deep and well extracted, this is a rich purple colour with sweet blackberry fruits on the nose along with some gentle spicing. It's an elegant and extremely classic Médoc wine. The tannins are already smooth and starting to integrate with the fruits. The quality bodes well for the medium-priced wines in this vintage. One of the value picks of the Médoc. Drinking Window 2023 - 2035. Barrel Sample: 91

91pts James Suckling

Crushed blackberry, blackcurrant leaf, lavender, clove and licorice on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with firm, fine-grained tannins. Structured with savory and leafy notes on the finish. Try from 2024.

90pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Beaumont leaps from the glass with vibrant black and red cherries and warm cassis notes plus an undercurrent of bay leaves, lavender and pencil shavings. Full-bodied, firm and grainy, the mid-palate is taut and muscular with plenty of energy and an herbal lift on the finish.
Barrel Sample: 88-90

Wine Spectator

Dark plum and warmed cherry preserve flavors roll through, infused with warm earth and dark tobacco leaf notes. A savory hint adds some contrast on the finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2024. 2,500 cases made.

Winemaker's Notes

Château Beaumont 2018 has a very generous and complex nose, very harmonious,
concentrated and with a great freshness with silky tanins.

Merlots are very ripe with fleshy and silky tanins. Cabernets Sauvignon are powerful with a long finish. Petit Verdots have a beautiful acidity and a lot of freshness. 

Blend: 47% Merlot, 45% Cabernet sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot
