Chateau Beaumont, Haut-Medoc, France 2018 South West France crushed rocks and chalk add

crushed rocks and chalk add to the wine's taught brilliant feel

it is a blend of Tempranillo and Graciano grapes fermented and then aged in French oak and American oak barrels for 24 months

a blend of 75% Monastrell and 25% Garnacha from this unusual vintage

but surprisingly this gives it finesse and nobility

Meyer lemon and finally lemon verbena

Chateau Beaumont, Haut-Medoc, France 2018 South West France crushed rocks and chalk addClose to an even split of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, with 8% Petit Verdot, the 2018 Chteau Beaumont sports a deep purple color as well as impressive notes of blackcurrants, smoke tobacco and graphite. It's rich, nicely concentrated, has present, ripe tannin, plenty of depth, and a great finish. 92 Pts Jeb Dunnuck
