2021 Château Beychevelle

Sale price $90.00 | In Stock French Cellar (Delivery 8-14 days) | Any applicable taxes at checkout | Lay Down

The 2021 Château Beychevelle leans into freshness and vibrancy, reflecting the cooler growing season and the estate’s precise vineyard management. Aromas of bright red cherry, crushed raspberry, and violets lead to a refined palate of cranberry, graphite, and subtle oak spice. Gravel-rich soils provided excellent drainage during the rainy spring, allowing the vines to thrive and producing a wine of balance, minerality, and classical structure.

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.

The 2021 Beychevelle opens in the glass with notes of sweet berry compote, plums and creamy new oak, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy palate with an unusually sweet core of fruit for the vintage, framed by plenty of chewy tannin, and concluding with a vanillin-inflected finish.

Dark chocolate, green peppercorns, blackcurrants, lots of Cabernet markers on the nose. Missing a touch more mid palate depth, starts off juicy and bright but then settles and quietens. It's got a lovely sleek texture, tannins are really well integrated and this isn't at all pushed which is a great effort in 2021 showcasing restraint over trying to make something too hefty. I just wanted some more vibrancy and concentration to follow through. This may just need more time to come together and harmonise.

The Estate

Château Beychevelle is a historic estate nestled in the Saint-Julien appellation of Bordeaux, France. Often referred to as the "Versailles of the Médoc," the château is renowned for its stunning architecture and meticulously landscaped gardens. Founded in the 17th century, the estate earned its name from the practice of ships lowering their sails ("baisse voile") as a mark of respect for its owner, the Duke of Épernon. Today, it is co-owned by the Castel and Suntory groups, who uphold its legacy of producing elegant, balanced wines.

Fresh & Approachable Pauillac

A cooler 2021 vintage resulted in fresher, more aromatic wines with lower alcohol. Beychevelle’s traditional style enhanced the wine’s lifted fruit and fine structure.
