William Kelley for Robert Parker

Rich and muscular, the 2020 Beychevelle offers aromas of cassis, blackberries and baked plums, mixed with spice, pencil shavings and toasted new oak. Medium to full-bodied, thick and fleshy, with a luscious core of fruit framed by powdery, generously extracted tannins that come through on the finish, this is a more powerful, chunkier Beychevelle than the gentle 2019.

Château Beychevelle

The Château Beychevelle, a magnificent estate and considered one of the most beautiful châteaus in Bordeaux.

It is located in the renowned wine region of Saint-Julien in Bordeaux and is a symbol of elegance, tradition and first-class winemaking. The winery is picturesquely situated on the banks of the Gironde and has been a byword for exceptional wines and a rich history for centuries.

The name is derived from the term "baisse-voile" ("to lower the sails") and refers to the legend according to which passing ships lowered their sails in honor of the owner of the house, the first Duke of Epernon, Jean-Louis Nogaret of Valetta. The ship with the bird of prey's head and lowered sails still adorns the Beychevelle label. For Bordeaux lovers, Château Beychevelle is one of the best addresses for impressive, sophisticated Saint-Juliens.
