2The 2020 Beaumont has a well-defined bouquet of blackberry, briar and light pine cone scents plus a welcome touch of orange peel. The palate is medium-bodied and classic in style, with dry-ish tannins, but in no way austere; in fact, it displays fine depth and commendable salinity toward the finish. What they used to call “English gentleman’s claret,” a.k.a. a good solid Haut-Médoc. Enjoy over 12–15 years.” 89-91 pts., Neal Martin, www.vinous.com

The 2020 Beaumont is dark, fleshy and wonderfully expressive. Charcoal, scorched earth, lavender and spice give this dark, plummy Haut-Médoc Cru Bourgeois Superieur so much character and personality. Expressive spice and floral notes reappear on the long, beautifully articulated finish. This is a winner
Anticipated maturity: 2026-2040

2019 Madame de Beaucaillou, Haut-Medoc 12x75cl
"The 2019 Madame de Beaucaillou has turned out beautifully. Bright, floral and effusive, the Madame offers up crushed red berry fruit, spice, new leather and licorice. This effusive, charming red... offers tons of immediacy and sheer appeal. I would prefer to drink it over the next handful of years. The Madame is a blend from vineyards that previously informed Bruno Borie's Listracs, plus other parcels just outside Saint-Julien."

2021 Chateau Beaumont, Haut-Medoc 6x75cl
“Pretty, expressive, with a juicy core of cassis and blueberry, hints of cedar and tobacco leaf. A fresh, juicy and creamy texture and plenty of energy, with its long finish and fine-grained, lightly firm structure. Very fine indeed, and a bargain to boot”. Mr Wheeler tasting note

2020 Chateau La Lagune 3eme Cru Classe, Haut-Medoc 6x75cl
"Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2020 La Lagune strides confidently out of the glass with bold, fantastically pure black fruit notes of crushed black plums, ripe blackcurrants and juicy blackberries,... plus hints of tar, dried Provence herbs, star anise and smoked meats, with a hint of black truffles. The medium-bodied palate delivers tightly wound, bright, crunchy black fruits with plenty of freshness and an approachable, grainy texture, finishing long with loads of earthy and herbal sparks." 92-94 pts., Lisa Perrotti-Brown, robertparker.com

2020 Madame de Beaucaillou, Haut-Medoc 6x75cl
"The 2020 Le Marquis de Calon-Ségur blend is 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 49% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot, with an alcohol of 14.6%. It is aging for an anticipated 17 months in French oak barrels, 30%... new. Deep purple-black in color, it bursts from the glass with bombastic scents of stewed black plums, crème de cassis and blueberry pie with nuances of violets and licorice, plus a waft of menthol. The medium to full-bodied palate is chock-full of juicy black fruits with plush tannins and just enough freshness, finishing spicy. This is a very different style from the grand vin (Calon-Ségur), but also very delicious." 88-90 pts., Lisa Perrotti-Brown, robertparker.com

2021 Chateau Senejac, Haut-Medoc 6x75cl
"Floral and brightly scented with such clarity on the nose, so expressive but delicate too. I like the clarity here, it's not weighty or particularly textured but so refined on the palate, really... just gentle but so charming. So well worked with a grace of flavours where nothing sticks out but nothing too heavy either. I really like this - it's not trying too hard, still with acidity, red berry fruits and some chalky tannins. 4% Petit Verdot completes the blend." 88 pts., Georgina Hindle, decanter.com

Pretty nose with what appears to be a good concentration of fruit. Pure and precise on the palate, the tannins smooth and rounded. Compact and harmonious with adequate mid-palate fruit and length on the finish. Bravo." 16.5 pts., James Lawther MW, jancisrobinson.com

2017 Chateau Cissac, Haut-Medoc 12x75cl
"66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot on gravel. A cru bourgeois.
Unnecessarily heavy bottle. Colour of black cherries with purple rim. Rich black fruit on the nose, a touch of cassis... leaf adding lift, surprisingly open. Sweet-fruited and with some oak sweetness on the palate too but with the savoury quality of the Médoc to balance the fruit. Finely textured and supple tannins and a lovely freshness from start to finish." 16 pts., Julia Harding MW, jancisrobinson.com
