Château Beychevelle is a fourth classified grand cru (classification of Medoc wines of 1855) of the Saint-Julien appellation. Located on the left bank of the Médoc, the vineyard includes 92 hectares of vines. The vines are around 30 years old and benefit from reasoned treatment. Château Beychevelle is a classic Saint-Julien: roundness, rich aromas, and power. The classic harmony of the greatest Médoc, which deserves much more than the fourth cru of the 1855 classification.
The best vintages of Beychevelle are undoubtedly 1982 and the vintage 1986. The wines of 1989, 2000 and grands crus of 2005 are equally exceptional. Finally, Château Beychevelle has also produced great vintages such as 2009, 2010 and the 2015 vintage.

(11-2007) Sweet and pleasing. Pale red. Sweet and pleasing. Well balanced and relatively rich though tannins and acidity are pretty obvious. Very fresh.
(01-2003) Dark red. Good intensity. Belle. Net. Medium intensity. Fruity. Fees. Note blackberry. The smooth touch and taste are at the rendezvous. The wine, good build, fairly juicy, grows on end tasty and fine tannins, fruit, licorice and long, with a feeling of coating and velvet tannin rarely achieved so far in this vintage. It's very good.
(06-2004) Elegant notes of damp earth, underbrush, sweet cherries, and currants arise from the modest bouquet. While a distinctive soil character dominates the fruit, it offers good richness, medium body, and moderate tannin in an elegant, stylish format.
