Château Beau-Site 2014 reflects the distinct terroir of the Saint-Estèphe appellation, specifically its elevated gravel-based soils. This vintage is a blend of around 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot with small amounts of Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, all aged in French oak for 12 to 14 months. The wine’s structure lends itself well to hearty dishes, particularly red meats and roasts. The estate, owned by the Casteja family, is situated approximately 20 metres above sea level, contributing to its unique growing conditions.
