Chateau Beychevelle 2020
Chateau Beychevelle is a prestigious Fourth Growth estate located in the Saint Julien appellation of Bordeaux, France. Historically known as the 'Versailles of the Médoc', the estate dates back to the 17th century and is currently co owned by the Castel and Suntory groups. The winemaking philosophy centers on a meticulous balance of tradition and innovation, utilizing a state of the art gravity-fed cellar to express the elegance and unique maritime-influenced terroir of the region.
Wine Description
The 2020 vintage presents a dense, dark purple colour with vibrant black reflections. The nose is seductive and exotic, leaping with aromas of blackcurrant, juicy black plums, and blackberries mingled with darker notes of chocolate, pencil shavings, and violet. On the palate, the wine is muscular and concentrated yet remarkably silky, featuring a core of ripe fruit framed by fine grained, powdery tannins.
