Château Beaumont 2022 en Primeur
Descripción
Este tinto es el buque insignia de Château Beaumont. Se elabora con el clásico coupage de la región en el que participan la Cabernet sauvignon, la Merlot y la Petit verdot. Con una elaboración clásica, la diferencia la marca el terreno sobre el que están asentadas las viñas: gravas arenosas de la Glaciación Günz, la primera de las cuatro acontecidas en nuestro planeta. En esta añada la Cabernet sauvignon juega un papel crucial debido a la reestructuración de este château para adaptarse al cambio climático.
Entrega estimada durante el segundo trimestre de 2025.

Opinión de los críticos
Tasted on two separate occasions, the 2022 Château Beaumont is a beautiful Haut-Médoc based on 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot mostly from sandy soils. Given the challenging conditions of the vintage, it would be easy to assume this would be a subpar release (the vintage was particularly challenging for sandy soils), but you'd be mistaken. This offers impressive purity in its red, blue, and black fruits as well as notes of chocolate and scorched earth. With medium body, present yet ripe tannins, and outstanding length, it's going to drink well immediately on release and evolve for 10-12 years or more.
Slightly chewy with fresh blackcurrant and berry character. Medium body. Fresh.
Clear and pure, a lovely clean juiciness though the lightness in terms of fruit density doesn't quite match the tannins, which although are fine are quite present and dense with touches of liquorice, clove, cinnamon and dark chocolate that dominate and make this quite serious. It doesn't feel overworked, but it's still a bit compact and spiced with clear power underneath, although there is refinement overall. Tasted twice. Harvest 19 September-5th October. Yields 28hl/ha.
