Cabernet Sauvignon 51%, Merlot 45%, Petit Verdot 4%

This is the only vintage of Beychevelle’s last three to have a majority of Cabernet Sauvignon. Given that the estate achieved a yield of 47 hl/ha when its neighbours were in the low 30s, this is somewhat surprising. The additional Cabernet looks to have tuned down some of the delicious immediacy of recent years. Along with the sumptuous mulberry and buttered-toast notes, there is some Asian spice and a remarkable level of freshness. The 2020 Beychevelle has lost none of its seductive qualities but has gained another notch of gravitas.

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.
