Tasting notes
The 2022 Beaumont is very backward on the nose, with tobacco-infused black fruit, unashamedly classic in style. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins. Good mid-weight depth, a healthy pinch of black pepper and gentle grip on the finish, this has length and style. Looking for a bargain in '22? Step this way. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting in London.

I loved the 2022 Château Beaumont, a richly textured, medium to full-bodied, concentrated 2022 that does everything right. Darker currants, smoky cherries, spicy wood, and leather-like notes all define the aromatics, and it's nicely balanced, with plenty of mid-palate depth and velvety tannins. Count me in as a fan. The 2022 is 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot.
The 2022 Beaumont has a tightly wound nose with blackberry, briar and light tobacco scents unfolding nicely with each swirl of the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannins. It’s quite structured and firm at the moment but will loosen up with time. Sapid and fresh, this is a delightful, traditional-styled claret that should age well in bottle.
65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot. Firm with bright, attractive fruit and lots of sappy tannins that suggest this is a wine that deserves a bit of time in bottle. GV (JR)
