94 James Suckling
An attractive, medium-bodied St.-Julien with plenty of blueberry character, plus touches of cassis and mint and a long, moderately dry finish that gives it a lot of appeal. Drink or hold
93 Robert Parker
Deep garnet colored, the 2009 Beychevelle begins a little closed, slowly revealing notes of iron ore, tilled soil, fungi and underbrush over a core of blackberry preserves, warm plums and cassis with touches of mocha and camphor. Full-bodied and richly fruited in the mouth, it has a firm texture of ripe, grainy tannins and seamless freshness, finishing with a compelling mineral lift.

92 Wine Spectator
This has the dark, winey cassis bush and roasted plum fruit of the appellation, but steps up the integration and length, with racy linzer torte and graphite notes and a lovely tobacco-filled finish supported by mouthwatering acidity. Best from 2014 through 2026. 22,000 cases made. –JM

17 Rene Gabriel
Dunkles Granat, recht satt in der Mitte, rubiner Rand. Das Bouquet ist momentan verhalten und eher schlank im Ansatz, etwas blaue Pflaumen zeigend. Saftiger, eleganter Gaumen, feine Tannine, hier mit recht guter Aromatik, schöne Länge. Endlich wieder einmal ein fraglos guter Beychevelle. (17/20). 14: Hat sich schon ziemlich entwickelt und zeigt fleischige Noten, Demi-Glace, Dörrpflaumen. Auch im Gaumen weist er schon auf eine gewisse Reifentwicklung hin. Im Vergleich mit ähnliche Weinen in der Preislage fehlt ihm irgendwie die Mitte, respektive die Konzentration. Auf dem Weingut degsutiert. warten (2015 - 2028)

Château Beychevelle
Located in the Saint-Julien region of Bordeaux, this Classed Growth, Château Beychevelle has one of the most recognizable labels in all of Médoc. Featuring an estuary boat, the labels show a sail lowered in salute to the estates former owner, the Duc d’Epernon, an Admiral of France. Better known as the “Dragon Boat” wine, it has become one of the most sought after wines around the world, especially in China. Now a sizable 90-hectare property, its vineyards are dedicated to Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and a small amount of Petit Verdot growth. More recently, they have heavily invested into the renovation of their wine making facilities, cellars, and visitor center. Today the beautiful winery, designed by Arnaud Boulain and Atelier BPM stands with glass walls allowing guests to fully partake in the winemaking process.
