"In a fine, elegant style, this wine reveals a pleasant nose dominated by black fruits, supported by discreet wood. The palate is round, suave and fleshy, underpinned by amiable tannins." (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2015) A Bordeaux with finesse!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated (2018 guide) 15/20 (Very good wine)
Domaine rated (guide 2021) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the wine:
Breed with a very interesting cedar and Havana character, we can still wait for it.
About the domain :
A magnificent chartreuse overlooking the river, Beau-Site enjoys one of the finest panoramic views in the northern part of the appellation. It belongs to Philippe Castéja, who also owns Châteaux Batailley and Trottevieille. The estate produces an elegant, racy wine, always full-bodied without being devoid of finesse or elegance. The estate has turned a corner.
