CHÂTEAU BEAUMONT
Just above Margaux's lands in Cussac, Château Beaumont, built in 1854, is a jewel of Mansard-style architecture. It is one of the most beautiful residences in Haut-Médoc. The castle would take its name from Louis de Beaumont who appropriated the lands of the Lord of Cussac during the Hundred Years' War. It was in 1773 that the estate was cleared by its owner Henri Labarthe, who intended it for the vineyard. It took 50 years before the vineyard was born. The estate now belongs to the GMF group, which, in 1986, joined the Japanese group Suntory and together created the Société Grands Millésimes de France. The group also owns Château Beychevelle and the Bordeaux trading company Barrière Frères. The vineyard, which has been engaged in sustainable viticulture for several years and is Terra Vitis certified, covers 114 ha, between Margaux and Saint-Julien. It makes it possible to obtain elegant and harmonious wines. You can taste or buy this cru bourgeois, a member of the Alliance des crus bourgeois and the Union des Grands Crus during your visit.
