The name is a mouthful but behind it awaits a more approachable wine. It shows loads of tannins, firm and with plenty of aging ahead of them. Black-currant flavors come through strongly, giving a wine that will mature well. Drink from 2023. ROGER VOSS

Tasting Notes

Dark, ruby red in appearance, Château Beau-Site displays aromas of tobacco leaf, leather and blackcurrant on the nose. The palate is savory and herbal with an earthy minerality and hints of tobacco smoke.

Winery Notes

Château Beau-Site – whose meaning is ‘beautiful site’ – was very highly regarded in the mid-19th century, but the owner never submitted samples to the brokers in charge of the classification of 1855, so the estate was overlooked. Owned by Borie-Manoux since 1955, considerable efforts and investments have been made in this Cru Bourgeois property. Beau-Site’s 18th century underground cellar is one of the oldest in the Médoc and presents the perfect maturing conditions for a wine that is vinified with the same care and technique as a Grand Cru Classé.
