The property
Château Beychevelle, a superb property with magnificent gardens, is one of the most prestigious estates in the Saint-Julien appellation, located on the left bank of the Bordeaux region. More radiant than ever, the property benefits from a new cellar at the cutting edge of innovation realized by the architect Arnaud Boulain. The style of Château Beychevelle is defined by the consistency of its excellent quality wines. Powerful, fleshy, structured, they express with elegance the finesse of the great Saint-Julien terroir. Made for aging, the wines of Château Beychevelle evolve superbly over the years.
The vineyard
Among the 250 hectares of the property, Château Beychevelle watches over 90 hectares of vines. The specificity of the terroir of Château Beychevelle is due to its magnificent Garonne gravel hillsides and the immediate proximity of the Gironde River, which regulates and protects the climate.
The vintage
A mild and dry start to the year favored an early budding, followed by a humid and warm spring. The short cool and wet spells in April and May did not slow down the vine cycle. The veraison started on July 10th. The dry and sunny summer was accompanied by a saving rainy episode in mid-August. The first fifteen days of September, marked by warm days and cool nights, allowed the grapes to reach optimal maturity until the harvest. Despite their small size, the grapes were of great quality, concentrated and of a beautiful color.
Vinification and maturation
In line with the greatest vintages of the property, Château Beychevelle 2020 is the result of a rigorous selection from the 85 lots produced this year. The wine is aged in barrels (70% of which are new).
Blending
Château Beychevelle 2020 is made from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (51%), Merlot (45%) and Petit Verdot (4%).
