Description
Château Beychevelle lies at the entrance to the commune of the same name and is the first château you see as you drive into the commune. The château is magnificent and was once called the "Versailles of the Médoc." A high-ranking admiral lived in Saint Julien, Beychevelle. All ships entering the Gironde estuary were required to salute, and did so by lowering their sails "baisser les Voiles." The name "Beychevelle" is said to derive from this. Since 2011, the château has changed owners. It is now owned by Pierre Castel (of the well-known négociant merchant in Bordeaux and elsewhere in France) and the Japanese group Suntory (also owner of Ch. Lagrange).
Château Beychevelle embodies the elegance and finesse of Saint Julien's finest terroirs. Graceful and complex, with enormous aromatic richness, Château Beychevelle is made from the finest plots in the region. It undergoes a rigorous selection process, revealing its true character after about ten years and can be aged for decades, depending on the vintage.
Château Beychevelle experienced some frost and a bit of hail this year. Yields were ultimately reasonable, at 36 hl/ha this year at Beychevelle. "Our Cabernet is exceptional, but I do think this is the best Merlot we have ever made," says Technical Director Romain Duclomb. The Château Beychevelle Saint-Julien Grand Cru Classé is a blend of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot, and 4% Petit Verdot. Château Beychevelle has a bright red/purple color in the glass. It is a generous wine that is surprisingly accessible even at this early stage. The nose offers seductive notes of blackberry, black cherry, and dark chocolate. It is an exceptionally harmonious wine. It is both powerful and silky; fresh, fruity, and long on the palate. A fine expression of a Grand Terroir with good freshness and a very pleasant mouthfeel.
This is a 1.5 litre magnum – even tastier, more festive and with a longer drinking window.

Unwinding in the glass with aromas of dark berries, cherries and cassis mingled with hints of violets and licorice, framed by creamy new oak, the 2022 Beychevelle is medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered, with a fleshy core of fruit framed by rich, unusually suave and polished tannins in the context of recent vintages at this address. It's a blend of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot and 4% Petit Verdot, with a pH of 3.85, quite typical for this address.

The tannins are very well-integrated with lovely bright fruit of currants and blackberries. Medium to full body. Vivid and pretty. 54% cabernet sauvignon, 42% merlot and 4% petit verdot.

From: You’re Unbelievable: Bordeaux 2022 (May 2023)
The 2022 Beychevelle was picked between 12-29 September at 36hL/ha, matured in 70% new oak. It has an intense bouquet with black cherries, blueberry and touches of cassis and violet. Not as ostentatious as some other Saint-Julien wines at this early stage, but delineated, and it positively brims with energy. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit framed by beautifully-sculpted tannins. The 2022 is very harmonious, satin-like in texture, and gently fans out toward the finish. It ends up being one of the most seductive Beychevelles I have tasted from barrel, one not to be overlooked. Chapeau, Mr. White! 14.08% alcohol.

From: 2022 Bordeaux En Primeur: Balance Imbalance (May 2023)
The 2022 Beychevelle is fabulous. In most recent vintages Beychevelle has been a flamboyant, extravagant Saint-Julien, but in 2022 is its surprisingly vibrant and fresh, almost shockingly so. Ripe red cherry/plum fruit, blood orange, rose petal and spice are all beautifully delineated. More than anything, I admire the wine’s freshness and drive, qualities that have not often been present in recent vintages. That makes the 2022 one of my favorite recent vintages here. Tasted three times.
