2019 Château Beychevelle, St Julien, Bordeaux

Description

As usual, Merlot is in the slight ascendancy here, and this gives the wine a lush accessibility. There is an alluring red fruit perfume and the wine manages its richness well. The tannins are fine, with no hint of bitterness and overall the wine is more seductive than the opulent 2018. A lovely wine for Philippe Blanc’s 25th vintage. Drink 2026-2038.

Critics reviews

James Suckling 93-94/100
Rich, layered red with lots of ripe fruit and creamy, round tannins. Yet, it’s fresh and refined at the same time. Flavorful finish. Ripe and solid. Equal to the 2018 in quality.james_suckling (May 2020)

A confident and well expressed Beychevelle, this is bristling with blackberry and cassis fruits, creamy through the mid palate as so many of the best wines are in this vintage. It's broad shouldered which takes it a little out of appellation signature, but the glamour is well balanced by a lovely crushed mint leaf finish. Harvest September 23 to October 10, 55% of production in this main estate wine, 45% in the 2nd wine. 60% new oak. 3% Cabernet Franc completes the blend.jane_anson_mw, Decanter (May 2020)

About this wine

Chateau Beychevelle

Château Beychevelle is a 4ème Cru Classé St-Julien wine property that boasts one of the most impressive châteaux in the whole of the Médoc. Its label depicts a beautiful galley with a large sail, as a consequence of its ownership in the 16th century by the Duc d`Eperon, Admiral of France at the time. The expression "Baisse-Vaille", meaning "lower sails", later evolved into the name Beychevelle. Today the property is owned by Grands Millésimesde France.
