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.

"Attractive scents of sweet oak spice, ripe red bramble fruit, vanilla and fragrant violet nuances. Mouth filling with freshness and a nice concentration. Rounded, with purity of fruit."
— Decanter, Mar 2022

“Extremely enticing aromas of ripe plums and peaches with spices, such as nutmeg. Full-bodied, deep and firmly textured with beautiful fruit and a lovely, long and flavorful finish. Best since 1989.”
— James Suckling, Feb 2019
