Wine Description

Château Beau-Site, located on stony soils close to Château Calon Ségur, lies on ones of Médoc’s highest points and has a fantastic view over the River Gironde. This is fitting since the meaning of Beau-Site is ‘beautiful site’. Château Beau-Site is located outside the village of St. Corbian, which is at the northern extremity of the St. Estèphe appellation. There are nearly 35 hectares of vines with an average age of 35 years and the plantings are comprised of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot.

After manual harvesting, the wine is vinified traditionally and then matured in oak casks (50% new) for 12-15 months.

“Love the spice and dark-berry character with hints of plums. Full body and velvety tannins. Long and flavorful with graphite, cedar and plums. Hints of bark. Best Beau-Site in years!”
— James Suckling, Feb 2017

“The 2014 Beau Site has an intense dark berry, undergrowth and cedar-tinged bouquet that packs quite a punch. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannin, plenty of blackberry and bilberry fruit with a tang of spice towards the finish.”
— Neal Martin, Mar 2017
