Chateau Beaumont is a typical wine producing estate in this part of Bordeaux \u2013 of their 18 hectares of vines \u2013 only 1.5 are planted with white varieties.<\/p>\n<p>Traditionally it is the red that sells \u2013 and to invest too heavily in improving the whites has always been seen as an unnecessary expense.\u00a0 Here at Chateau Beaumont though an excellent plan was developed. \u00a0They hit on the idea of barrel-fermenting their white in the new barrels destined for the red wine. Since the white grapes are picked early (in August) it completes its fermentation in wood and is back in tank by the time of the &#8216;d\u00e9cuvage&#8217; of the red. Because the barrels were needed for the red, their cost has not been factored in to the price of this fantastic bright and surprisingly complex white, which is amazing value for a barrel-fermented wine.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a title=\"2013 CH\u00c2TEAU BEAUMONT BLANC Les Pierri\u00e8res Blaye\" href=\"https:\/\/www.leaandsandeman.co.uk\/wine\/2013-CHATEAU-BEAUMONT-BLANC-Les-Pierrieres-Blaye-20726-00.html?pack=25015&amp;term=beaumont&amp;page=\">2013 CH\u00c2TEAU BEAUMONT &#8216;Les Pierri\u00e8res&#8217;\u00a0Blaye<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>* Mix any 12 bottles from our website to qualify for our case price discount.
