  • Goedhuis, April 2004

    A well known wine merchant was heard to comment that Beychevelle was so good this year that he nearly spat it out in disbelief. Our reactions were not quite so strong, but this is certainly very good wine. Silky and seductive, polished and rich in fruit, it could almost be enjoyed now. It will certainly make relatively early drinking but there is no shame in that. 49% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc, 6% Petit Verdot, this is the best Beychevelle for an age.

  • Robert Parker, August 2014, Score: 92

    Despite the extreme heat of June, July and August, this beautiful wine’s terroir shows through. A dense plum/purple color is accompanied by sweet cassis and black currant aromas, broad, round, juicy fruit flavors, medium body, and hints of figs, spice box and cedar. This complete, juicy, fully mature, impressive wine can be consumed over the next 7-8 years.

  • Robert Parker, April 2006, Score: 90

    Given the performance of this somewhat mystifying but beautifully situated estate in St.-Julien, we might be seeing a resurrection in quality, or at least much more consistency. A beauty in an up-front, supple, sexy style is the generous and savory, dark ruby /plum-colored 2003 Beychevelle. Medium to full-bodied with loads of fruit and glycerin, it is much more approachable than usual, but also generously proportioned and exceptionally well-balanced. Drink: 2009-2022.

  • Robert Parker, April 2005, Score: 87-90

    Straightforward with plenty of sweet fruit and low acidity, this medium-bodied, relatively supple-textured Beychevelle exhibits a dark ruby/purple-tinged color and earthy, plump, corpulent flavors that lack some elegance but are deep, concentrated, and fleshy. This wine should drink well young and age nicely for 15 or more years. Beychevelle remains the most conspicuous under-achiever in the otherwise brilliant appellation of St.-Julien. Drink: Now-2020

  • James Suckling, April 2004, Score: 89-91

    Lovely, silky wine with currant, mineral and berry character. Full- to medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a reserved finish. Delicious already. 21,110 cases made. -- J.S.

  • Decanter, April 2004

    Deep ruby, ripe blackcurrant fruit, but an edge of greenness and not quite the purity of fruit expected. Drink: 2009-2017

Located in the north of Saint Julien, Château Beychevelle boasts one of the Medoc’s most remarkable châteaux surrounded by immaculate gardens. There are two theories explaining its name and nautical label - both acknowledging the passing ships in the nearby Gironde and the Gascon language - "beychet velo" or "bêche velle" meaning "lowered sails" and "sailing vessel", respectively. Particularly prized amongst the Asian market, this estate is renowned for producing wines of superb concentration and power with excellent ageing potential. In the words of Decanter’s Jane Anson, this château is “one of the most vibrant in Bordeaux right now”.Read less

Region

St Julien

St Julien is like the middle child of the Médoc - not as assertive as Pauillac or as coquettish as Margaux. It lies firmly between the two more outspoken communes and as a result produces a blend of them both. St Julien's wines have often been sought out by aficionados for their balance and consistency, particularly in the UK. Yet due to its middle child nature, it can occasionally be overlooked globally and as a result underrated by those markets outside the UK. Despite the fact that it has no first growths, it has several second growths including Léoville Las Cases, Léoville Barton, Léoville Poyferré and Ducru Beaucaillou as well as the celebrated châteaux such as Talbot and Beychevelle.
