Château Beau-Site 2016, Cru Bourgeois Supérieur
94 bod. - James Suckling
Château Beau-Site se nalazi na jednoj od najviših tačaka u Médocu (Beau-Site u stvari na francuskom znači “lijepo mjesto”). Podzemni podrum na izmanju iz 18. vijeka jedan je od najstarijih u Médocu i pruža savršene uslove za sazrijevanje vina koje se vinifikuje sa istom pažnjom i tehnikom kao i ona klase Grand Cru. U nosu je prigušena ali koncentrovana mješavina nota ribizle i drveta/duvana, jer preovladava Cabernet Sauvignon i 50% novog hrasta. Zrelost berbe obezbjedila je na nepcima čvrst gutljaj bogat aromama crne ribizle i zrelih tanina i izbalansirane kiselosti. Dugotrajnim završnim ukusom dominiraju čiste note crvenog voća.
94 points - James Suckling
Château Beau-Site sits on one of the Médoc’s highest points (indeed, Beau-Site means “beautiful site” in French). The estate’s 18th century underground cellar is one of the oldest in the Médoc and presents the perfect maturing conditions for a wine that is vinified with the same care and technique as a Grand Cru Classé. The nose is a subdued yet concentrated mix of cassis and fresh wood / tobacco, thanks to a predominance of Cabernet Sauvignon and 50% new oak. On the palate, the ripeness of the vintage has ensured a firm mouthful of rich blackcurrant fruit, ripe tannins and balanced acidity. The long finish is blessed with pure red fruit.
