Tasting Notes

I was looking forward to seeing if this had improved in bottle, as it is an estate that I enjoy, and look to for value drinking. It remains a good choice for early drinking in the vintage, but it definitely marked by fruit that is savoury rather than fully ripe, with angular tannins. 40hl/h yield. Owned by Société Grands Millésimes de France since 1986.

Score: 85

Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux Maturity: 2023-2030 02 April 2024

The 2021 Beaumont is a beautiful, expressive Haut-Médoc to drink now and over the next decade or so. Crushed flowers, red-toned fruit, spice, leather, tobacco and cedar open first. Aromatic and medium in body, with impeccable balance, Beaumont is very nicely done. Pretty floral overtones lift the finish.

Score: 90

Antonio Galloni, Inside Bordeaux Maturity: 2024-2033 27 February 2024

The 2021 Beaumont has opened nicely on the nose since I tasted it from barrel: blackberry and cedar to the fore, aromatics with a spring in their step. The palate is medium-bodied with a firm entry. This is a strict Beaumont—classic in style, quite briny and saline with just a slightly "blocky" finish. The 2021 is in keeping with its showing from barrel…but an extra point for the uptick in the aromatics.

Score: 88

Neal Martin, Vinous.com Maturity: 2025-2038 22 February 2024

Fruity with red- and dark-fruit aromas. Supple and easy-going on the palate. Light structure but fine tannins. Pleasant early drinking.

Score: 15+

James Lawther MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2024-2030 11 May 2022

Medium-bodied with juicy currant and beetroot notes. Medium, sleek tannins. Savory finish.

Score: 89 - 90

James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 01 May 2022

Offering up aromas of sweet berries, spices and loamy soil, the 2021 Beaumont is medium-bodied, lively and nicely balanced, concluding with a discreetly minty finish. The blend is dominated by an unusually high 65% of Cabernet Sauvignon.

Score: 87 - 89

William Kelley, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com 29 April 2022

A rock solid Haut-Médoc, the 2021 Château Beaumont gives up plenty of ripe red and black fruits, a kiss of meatiness in its dried herb and spicy aromatics, medium-bodied richness, and a balanced, well-made style on the palate.

Score: 87 - 88
