Château Beychevelle
Since the Middle Ages the illustrious owners of Chateau Beychevelle have gradually endowed it with the best plots of land and have perpetuated the tradition that has always been of prime importance in the density of this Grand Cru Classe.
Wine Enthusiast
The most beautifully situated chateau, with its great view of the Gironde estuary, Beychevelle is another of those Médoc estates that has found top form after a fallow period in the 1980s and early ’90s. The wine’s generosity, sweetness and fruit is balanced with the carefully crafted structure of wood that underpins it all. Imported by Diageo Chateau & Estates.
Score: 93. —Roger Voss, May 01, 2006.Wine Advocate
Given the performance of this somewhat mystifying but beautifully situated estate in St.-Julien, we might be seeing a resurrection in quality, or at least much more consistency. A beauty in an up-front, supple, sexy style is the generous and savory, dark ruby /plum-colored 2003 Beychevelle. Medium to full-bodied with loads of fruit and glycerin, it is much more approachable than usual, but also generously proportioned and exceptionally well-balanced. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2022.
