2023 Château Beau-Site, St Estèphe, Bordeaux

Description

Blend: 70% Cabernet Sauvignon; 25% Merlot; 3% Petit Verdot; 2% Cabernet Franc.

This is owned by the Castéja family and so from the same stable as Ch. Batailley; it inherits some of its sibling’s earnest solidity. There are some decent gravelly notes to give the wine a St Estèphe bite. There is an appealing squeeze of freshness to the finish. This is a perfectly honest, soundly made wine that will probably surprise a few by displaying more dimension after a few years in bottle.

Our score: 15.5/20

Critics reviews

Neal Martin 89-91/100

The 2023 Beau-Site has a pretty bouquet that takes a little encouragement, revealing light blackberry and wild hedgerow aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins. This is quite a structured and bold Beau-Site, but there is plenty of substance on the finish that should see it age well over the next 15 years.

Jane Anson 90/100

This is full of slate, juicy and bright blackberry and raspberry fruits, savoury edges of raspberry leaf and coffee bean, good quality, with austere tannins that bring you firmly into En Primeur mode, with potential for ageing. Casteja family. 35% new oak, and a healthier yield than the 2022 at this property.

Blend: 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc.

A medium-bodied red with blackcurrant, spice and walnut aromas and flavors. Medium body, juicy fruit and fine tannins. Already pretty for this appellation.

About this wine

Saint-Estèphe

Saint-Estèphe

Saint-Estèphe is the northernmost of the most important communes of the Médoc, bordering Pauillac on its southernmost border, with only a gully and stream separating it from Ch. Lafite Rothschild. The wines can appear austere in youth, but the best typically display good depth of colour, pronounced acidity and tannins in youth, and are exceptionally long-lived. At their best, they are the equal of almost any Bordeaux.
