Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate January - 1998
Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
Fully mature with a spicy, plum-like bouquet, and some caramel aromas, the 1970 Beychevelle is round, fruity, quite silky and soft, and nicely concentrated.

Château Beychevelle

Château Beychevelle is one of the most iconic estates in the Saint-Julien appellation, on the left bank of Bordeaux. Classified as a Fourth Grand Cru Classé in 1855, it has embodied for several centuries a distinctive style that is both elegant, balanced and deeply Médoc in character. Its name, derived from the legend of "Baisse-Voile" (Lower Sail), directly references its majestic location on the banks of the Gironde and its historical role in Bordeaux river trade.

The Château Beychevelle vineyard extends over approximately 90 hectares, planted predominantly with Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot, Cabernet Franc and a small proportion of Petit Verdot. The deep gravel soils, typical of Saint-Julien, ensure optimal drainage and promote regular maturation, contributing to the consistent quality of the growth.

Beychevelle wines are distinguished by their harmony, silky texture and aromatic finesse, combining black fruits, spicy notes and a subtly oaked touch. Capable of evolving gracefully over several decades, they rank among the classic references of the Médoc. Vintages such as Château Beychevelle 1947, Château Beychevelle 1967, Château Beychevelle 1989, Château Beychevelle 1983, Château Beychevelle 1986, Château Beychevelle 2005, perfectly illustrate the consistency and aging potential of this great wine.
