Château Beychevelle is ranked a quatrièmes cru, or 4th growth, in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification. The estate got its name from the Gascogne phrase "Bêcha vêla" or "baisse voile" (lower the sails) which passing ships on the river would do out of respect for the Château's first owner, an Admiral. This nautical theme continued with the famous emblem of the Château: a ship with a griffon-shaped prow.
The wines of this iconic Saint-Julien estate are one of the most consistent in the commune. These are wines with great concentration and opulence, richly textured and tannic. Château Beychevelle crafts wines that will benefit from some time in the cellar. This is a wine that begs for rich, roasted meats.

The 2021 Beychevelle is elegant, understated and classy. Medium in body and less overt than most recent years, the 2021 is impeccably balanced from start to finish. Dark-toned fruit, gravel, menthol, licorice, spice and new oak build nicely with a bit of time in the glass. This is incredibly harmonious.

Clearly a star in the vintage, the 2021 Château Beychevelle is showing even better from bottle than barrels, revealing a dense purple hue as well as gorgeous notes of crème de cassis, spicy oak, smoked tobacco, and iron. Based on 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot, and the rest Cabernet Franc, aged in 70% new oak, it's medium to full-bodied, has a concentrated, layered mouthfeel, beautiful overall balance, and a great finish. It needs 4-5 years to integrate its oak but will easily evolve for two decades. It's a pure, layered, incredibly impressive 2021 that has tons to love, and I'd certainly be thrilled to have bottles in the cellar.

Blueberry and some chocolate and berry character. Medium body, fine tannins and a fresh, medium finish.
