Chateau Beychevelle, Saint Julien Grand Cru, 2020
is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Château Beychevelle is one of the great historic names of Saint-Julien, a Fourth Growth in the 1855 classification renowned for wines that combine aristocratic structure with silky texture and immediate charm. Known as the “Versailles of the Médoc” for its stately château and impeccable gardens, Beychevelle has built a modern reputation for precision and polish.
The 2020 vintage delivers on all fronts: a warm, ripe year that brought richness and density, balanced here by the classic lift and refinement Saint-Julien is famous for. The blend leans on Cabernet Sauvignon with supporting Merlot, offering deep layers of blackcurrant, plum, violet, graphite, and a subtle savory herb edge. The palate is full-bodied yet impeccably balanced, with fine, integrated tannins and a mineral freshness that carries the long, graceful finish.
Already impressive with a decant, this wine will evolve beautifully over the next 15–20 years, gaining complexity and texture.
Pair with: roast lamb, ribeye steaks, venison, or aged hard cheeses like Comté.
