Second wine of Château Beaumont. In 1824, the vineyard of Château Beaumont was born and thirty years later its magnificent Château was built in Renaissance style. Various illustrious owners succeeded one another, making Beaumont one of the leading “Crus Bourgeois Supérieurs” in the Médoc. Under the supervision of Philippe Blanc (Ch. Beychevelle), Château Beaumont has taken off in terms of quality since 1986 and continues to confirm its position as one of the best in the appellation and in the classification.
