Château Barreyres

Château Barreyres

Cru Bourgeois Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2022

2022 vintage. Owned by Pierre Castel. Probably 55% Cabernet Sauvignon and 45% Merlot. Red and black fruits, and smokey oak. Supple, round mouthfeel, good value. Personally, I would prefer a lighter oak toasting, if you like toasted oak, you might rate this higher. Good value in any case. Abv. 13,5% — a month ago

Château Beaumont

Cru Bourgeois Haut-Médoc Supérieur Red Bordeaux Blend 2022

2022 vintage. This large estate is co-owned by Castel and Suntory (the group also owns Beychevelle), and this 2022 represents great value for money. 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot. Compared to the Castel-owned Barreyres tasted alongside, Beaumont features a more black fruit personality,with more concentration and complexity,for only 1 euro more. Terrific value. — a month ago
