"Don't miss it!"

“Cloves, spices, and a hint of citrus peel with aromas of blackcurrant and blackberry. Licorice, too. It’s full-bodied and very tight, with ultra-fine, firm tannins and a long, creamy finish. Elegant and well-structured. Very classic in style. Best enjoyed after 2024. ” (James Suckling 2021) . Excellent value for the appellation.

Rated estate (2021 guide): 2* Stars (A solid, recommendable production, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

A magnificent Chartreuse overlooking the river, Beau-Site boasts one of the most beautiful panoramic views in the northern part of the appellation. It is owned by Philippe Castéja, who also owns the Châteaux Batailley and Trottevieille. The estate produces an elegant, distinguished wine that is always full-bodied without lacking finesse or elegance. The estate has reached a new milestone.

Rated "Recommended"

About the wine:

Extremely enticing aromas of plums and ripe peaches with spices, such as nutmeg. Full-bodied, deep, and with a firm texture, featuring lovely fruit and a beautiful, long, and flavorful finish. The best since 1989. Best enjoyed after 2021.

Review by Mr. GILLES D. Published on March 28, 2026

On a solid structure, the full-bodied palate reveals a generous array of highly ripe red and black fruits, complemented by a hint of mocha and well-balanced oak. These flavors, enhanced by a lovely freshness, infuse a supple, caressing texture with very well-integrated tannins, and linger in an exceptional finish. This delightful dark horse paired beautifully with a hare stew and steamed potatoes. Rating = 4.
