Also known as the "Château of the Dragon" for the legendary ship of its emblem, which reflects the maritime history of the 17th century when ships passed in front of the château and lowered their sails in homage, Château Beychevelle represents elegance, power and the finesse of the great Bordeaux wines.
The estate produces a wine that is a classic blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, reflecting the rich varietal diversity that contributes to the complexity and depth of its wines. The terroir of Saint-Julien, with its deep and fertile gravel soils, offers ideal conditions for growing high-quality grapes, giving the wine a refined tannic structure and rich aromatic expression.
The winemaking of Château Beychevelle follows traditional methods, with careful control of fermentation and aging in French oak barriques, some of which are new, to enrich the wine with further nuances of flavor and aroma, while maintaining the pure expression of the fruit and the typicality of the terroir.
Upon tasting, Château Beychevelle shows an intense and deep ruby red color. On the nose, the wine offers a rich and complex bouquet, with aromas of ripe red and black fruits, floral notes of violet, along with nuances of sweet spices, chocolate and a delicate toasting, the result of elegant aging in wood. In the mouth, the wine is powerful yet balanced, with ripe, silky tannins intertwined with lively acidity, creating a harmonious, multi-layered palate that leads to a long, persistent finish, characterized by pleasant complexity and refinement.
Château Beychevelle is a wine that reflects the nobility of its terroir and the mastery of its production, offering a rich and unforgettable tasting experience. It is ideal for accompanying elaborate dishes of red meat, game and mature cheeses, but it is also a magnificent meditation wine, to be appreciated for its intrinsic elegance and its ability to evolve and mature over time.
In summary, Château Beychevelle is an excellent choice for lovers of great Bordeaux wines, representing an emblematic example of the oenological excellence of Saint-Julien, capable of combining tradition, complexity and tasting pleasure.
