Chateau Prieure de Beyzac Haut-Medoc

Chateau Prieure de Beyzac is a boutique Medoc estate owned since 1998 by Eric and Nadine Charlassier, along with their daughters Emilie and Claire. Eric comes from a family of vignerons and farmers from the Right Bank of Bordeaux. Lieu-dit Beyzac was declared a Cru Bourgeois du Medoc in 1932, thanks to the great potential of its terroir. In 2013, Chateau Prieure de Beyzac followed suit and was also granted Cru Bourgeois status, a rank reaffirmed in 2020 in recognition of the consistent quality and authenticity of its wines.

The picturesque 13.76-hectare estate is located near the village of Saint-Estephe, just two kilometers from Chateau Calon Segur, the 3rd Grand Cru Classe of 1855. The vines are planted on a clay-limestone hillside rich in grassy soil and organic matter. The vineyard is composed of 60% Merlot Noir and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, with an average vine age of 25 years and an affordable, 92-point Left Bank Bordeaux.

Aroma: Chateau Prieure de Beyzac boasts a lovely bouquet of perfumed red cherries and wild strawberries, with well integrated oak.

Palate: Medium bodied with fine tannins, pinpoint acidity, and great precision toward the finish. This is one of the outstanding Cru Bourgeois wines to try. Absolutely superb.
