"Beauvillage 2020 presents a light nose with scents of red fruit, tobacco and undergrowth. The palate is fleshy, with modest depth, rather "soft" but well-balanced, and a fine tension on the finish. It glides easily over the palate. Recommended." (Vinous 2023) - A Cru Bourgeois among the Médoc appellation's best bargains!

Expert opinion
Wine Enthusiast
Rated wine (guide 2023) 89/100
About the wine:
This wine is dry, with dark chocolate aromas that need to soften. The dense fruit is embedded in still-firm tannins. The wine needs time. Drink from 2025.

About the wine:
Beauvillage 2020 has a light nose with scents of red fruit, tobacco and undergrowth. The palate is fleshy, with modest depth, rather "soft" but well-balanced, and a fine tension on the finish. Glides easily over the palate. Recommended. 2023-2030

About the wine:
Black fruit with cardamom, licorice, mocha and dry earth. Medium-bodied, juicy and supple, with round tannins and a savory finish. Slightly hollow on the mid-palate. For drinking or cellaring.
