Further information

In Portrait:

Château Beau-Site

Château Beau-Site lies in Saint-Estèphe and is one of the traditional producers of the northern Médoc. The vineyards are located on gravelly rises near the Gironde, ensuring optimal drainage and a particularly expressive terroir. Cabernet Sauvignon dominates the cuvées, bringing structure, dark fruit and firm yet fine tannins; it is complemented by Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The cool, wind-exposed microclimate of the appellation gives the wines freshness, depth and longevity. Château Beau-Site stands for classically shaped, precise Bordeaux with a mineral core, balanced power and excellent ageing potential – characterful, authentic and typically Saint-Estèphe.

Bordeaux

Origin in Focus

Bordeaux

Bordeaux is one of the world’s most renowned wine regions – a name that has stood for elegance, diversity and ageing potential for centuries. Gravel, clay and limestone soils alternate, allowing fine nuances in the wines that reflect both terroir and craftsmanship.

Bordeaux is typically known for blends in which grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc work together harmoniously.

Stylistically, red Bordeaux wines are defined by a balance of fruit, structure and freshness. The white wines – usually made from Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and sometimes Muscadelle – range from crisp and citrus-driven to creamy and complex.
