70% Sauvignon, 30% Sémillon. A beautifully crafted white Bordeaux which will appeal to drinkers of even the best wines of Graves. There is a little more Sémillon in this vintage, which fills out the mid-palate. Something to drink on its own or match with fish, chicken or pork dishes. L&S (Mar 2011)

Sauvignon 70%, Sémillon 30%. Owned by some Filliatreaus, I see, but no connection with Chinon. Light cats and oil on the nose – by no means unlike a good Pessac-Léognan white! Mouthfilling and very rich but not heavy. Smoky finish. A great find. Neat. Rating: 16.5 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (May 2011)
Château Beaumont Les Pierrières
In 2006 M. Filliatreau, the owner of Château Beaumont Les Pierrières was desperate to get a slightly better price for this wine from the old vine Semillon-Sauvignon produced from a 2 ha plot attached to a property that mainly makes red. He hit on the idea of barrel-fermenting it in the new barrels destined for the red wine. Since it is picked early (in August) it completed its fermentation in wood and was back in tank by the time of the 'décuvage' 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.
