Description
Château Beychevelle is located at the beginning of the commune of the same name and is the first château you see when you drive into the commune. The castle is magnificent, and was once called the "Versailles du Médoc". In Saint Julien, Beychevelle lived a high-ranking admiral. All ships entering the Gironde had to salute, and did so by lowering their sails "baisser les Voiles". The name "Beychevelle" is said to be derived from this. Since 2011, the castle has changed owners. It is now in the hands of Pierre Castel (of the well-known négociant trader in Bordeaux and elsewhere in France) and of the Japanese group Suntory (also owner of Ch. Lagrange).
Château Beychevelle has the elegance and finesse of the best terroirs of Saint Julien. Graceful and complex, with an enormous aromatic richness, Château Beychevelle is made from the best plots in the undergoes a rigorous selection process and reveals its true nature after about ten years and can be kept for decades, depending on the vintage. This is a 1.5 liter magnum. Even more delicious and with a longer drinking window.
The 2021 Beychevelle has a pleasant, light bouquet that needs some encouragement to unfold in the glass. Eventually aromas of blackberry, wild hedge, peppermint and sage emerge. The oak is nicely integrated in this 2021 vintage that is mainly characterized by elegance and a bit lighter in style and less 'plump'
The palate is medium-bodied with a fairly firm attack. The Cabernet Sauvignon is clearly dominant here, bringing intense notes of blackberry and graphite. The licorice-tinged finish is fresh and focused. This is an elegant, engaging Beychevelle.
