Chateau David Beaulieu

Wine information: Chateau David Beaulieu is a 20 hectare estate located in the district of Galgon, on the right bank of the Garonne River, near Libourne. The vineyard has been under the ownership of the Duporge family since 1910. Chateau David Beaulieu is a Bordeaux Supérieur is a 70 % Merlot, 19 % Cabernet Franc and 11 % Cabernet Sauvignon blend. It is a well-balanced, fruity and soft wine. This wine was previously known simply as Chateau David but new regulations mean that the name must be appended with the owner's family name, in this case "Beaulieu", to distinguish it from other Chateau Davids (who must now also do the same).

Reviews: "Crunchy red fruit with a leafy freshness on the nose. Sweet baked fruit on the palate. Soft, round texture, moderate use of oak. Uncomplicated. Drink from now until 2012." Bronze Medal Winner, Decanter World Wine Awards.
