Tasting notes
The 2021 Beau-Site has quite a perfumed, floral bouquet with light cedar scents percolating through with time in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, slightly peppery in style and harmonious, with gentle grip on the finish. There is lovely texture to this Saint-Estèphe and as such, it will drink sooner than others—well-crafted considering the growing season.

The 2021 Beau-Site has a well-defined bouquet, a little rustic in style yet charming; a touch of white pepper develops with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with raspberry and strawberry flavors, a granular texture and a touch of austerity on the finish. Fine.
Exhibiting aromas of minty berries, spices and licorice, the 2021 Beau Site is a medium-bodied, lively and nicely balanced wine. It derives from a gravel "croupe" near Calon-Ségur.
Enjoyable, well balanced, fine-bonded tannins and plentiful blackberry fruits. A little soft throuh the mid palate but this has mouthwatering charm. Harvest 1 October to 14 October (began pretty much the day they finished in 2020), with higher alcohol in the Cabernets than in the Merlots, very unusual but a result of the larger-than-average size of the Merlots.
