Introduction:
The 2022 Château Beauvillage Médoc Cru Bourgeois is a classically styled Left Bank Bordeaux that offers balance, structure, and elegance. It’s a wine suited for both near enjoyment and medium-term aging.

Terroir:
Vineyards lie within the Médoc on well-drained gravel soils over clay and limestone. The maritime climate of Médoc contributes to slow ripening and refined tannin development.

Appearance:
Deep ruby with purple hints; good clarity and saturation, hinting at both fruit and structure.

Nose:
Aromas of blackcurrants, blackberries, and black cherries, with hints of pencil lead, cedar, tobacco, and a touch of graphite. 

Palate:
Medium to full-bodied, with cassis and dark cherries at the core. Firm but fine tannins give backbone. Oak influence contributes toast, spice, and vanilla. Mineral undertones and a hint of tobacco emerge on the mid-palate.

Finish:
Long and structured. Fruit echoes carry, with cedar spice, tobacco leaf, and a dry herbal edge. 

Press:
91 points, James Suckling:
"Plush spices, chocolate, ripe cassis, tobacco, and berries on the nose. Refined and juicy, with polished, dusty tannins on a medium- to full-bodied palate. This shows some nice finesse, structure, and length at the end."

Overall Impression:
The 2022 Château Beauvillage Médoc Cru Bourgeois is a polished, well-balanced Bordeaux with structure and depth that is ready to enjoy with decanting, but also suited for further development over the next 8–12 years.
