| STYLE |
A soft, supple, fruity and stylish Haut-Médoc wine and a perfect ambassador for its appellation. Very well made, with charm and sufficient structure to please all value conscious customers.
Situated between the appellations of Margaux and Saint-Julien, Ch. Tours de Beaumont has caught the attention of many “connoisseurs”. With the arrival of Etienne Priou to its direction, Château Beaumont takes a noticed qualitative take-off and confirms its position among the sure values of its appellation. |

| MARKET NOTE |
As all red Bordeaux's, this wine can perfectly accompany any white meats (hams, chicken, turkey, veal ... ) or red meats (steaks, pheasant, duck, grouse, venison...) as well as fish in wine sauce. The older the wine, the more sophisticated the dish. A great classic with cheeses (Brie, Camembert, Cheddar ...). Equally delicious to accompany desserts such as red fruits or red fruit tarts and even chocolate desserts. |
