Chateau Beaumont may be considered cru bourgeois, rather than the rarefied Cru Classe, but don't let the Classification decided in 1855 deter you if you want reliable drinking Bordeaux. This is one of the leading cru bourgeois from the Haut-Medoc and is a smart buy for value claret.

Some berry and currant character with hints of sandalwood follows through to a medium body, integrated tannins and a clean finish. This is well crafted for the vintage. Drink or hold.
