Tasting notes
The 2017 Beaumont is a very pretty and expressive Haut-Médoc Cru Bourgeois loaded with character. Grilled herbs, smoke, tobacco, incense and licorice show lovely shades of nuance throughout. Strong Cabernet accents add character. The only real issue is that yields were down a punishing 50%.

The 2017 Beaumont has a pleasant bouquet with brambly black fruit laced with brine and cedar notes, well defined with moderate intensity. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly coarse tannins on the entry. This Beaumont might be a bit "rough around the edges" for some, although it has rustic charm on the off-dry finish. Needs partnering with hearty food.
50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 48% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot . M id crimson. Fresh but only medium-intensity nose. Juicy, well-balanced fruit and hardly any tannin in evidence. You could drink this light claret today! Ripe enough. (JR)
The 2017 Beaumont has a simple blackberry, raspberry preserve and charcoal-tinged bouquet, nicely defined but not intense. It doesn’t have to be. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly tough tannin on the entry, structured and quite dense with a stocky finish that has a pleasant blackberry and iodine aftertaste. Fine.
