DESCRIPTION
Beaumont Hope Marguerite 2022 reflects the fascinating potential of Chenin Blanc grapes grown in the cool regions of Bot River and Walker Bay. Crafted by the family estate under the direction of Sébastien Beaumont, this historic cuvée comes exclusively from heritage plots planted in 1974 and 1978 on shale soils. Its 11-month aging on lees in French oak barrels, 15% of which is new wood, gives it remarkable character and structure.
The aromatic profile reveals notes of ripe white fruits and delicate white flowers, enhanced by subtle touches of citrus, honey, and vanilla. The lively and pure attack evolves into a full and silky texture, perfectly balanced between fruity intensity and woody elegance. The finish lingers long with a distinctive and saline touch, ideal for accompanying fish or shellfish.
REGION
Walker Bay
South Africa
On the south coast of the Western Cape, Walker Bay is one of the coolest and most renowned wine regions in South Africa. Bathed in sea air and sheltered by the surrounding mountains, it enjoys a temperate climate ideal for wines of great finesse.
Walker Bay is a paradise for delicate grapes: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay find their balance in the hills of Hemel en Aarde (Valley, Ridge, Upper), while Bot River stands out for its saline, vibrant Chenin Blanc. With brilliant light, varied soils and a temperate climate, the region shapes wines that are elegant, pure and intensely expressive.
