Cabernet Sauvignon 57%, Merlot 38%, Petit Verdot 3%, Cabernet Franc 2%

There is more Cabernet Sauvignon than usual this year. This gives the wine a tighter feel, with cocoa and woodsmoke notes to the fore. Nevertheless, the palate is very forward and appealing, and the tannins are melting and soft. The team decided to proceed very carefully with the extractions; the wine is not quite as opulent as in recent vintages. This gives the impression that it is quite forward, and it is likely to give pleasure early on. But there is also enough stuffing to allow a decade or more of ageing. Drink 2025-2040.

Our score: 17/20

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.
