88-90/100, Yohan Castaing: Nez boisé/grillé, des touches épicées et des arômes de graphite. Bouche moyennement dense, une charge tannique structurante avec une allonge aérienne. Finalement un bel ensemble dans le contexte du millésime.

*Bordeaux en Primeur 2021* *IN BOND PRICING*    The estate: If the history of the estate dates back to the 18th century, the vineyard of Beaumont was born officially in 1824.
