97 Wine Spectator
Ripe and concentrated, but very sleek, with a remarkably pure beam of cassis and plum reduction flavors. Sweet spice, violet and apple wood notes are thoroughly embedded throughout. Polished and very long.—J.M.
95 Robert Parker
Aged for around 18 months in barrel, 60% new and 40% second fill, the 2018 Beychevelle needs a fair bit of swirling to release classic notes of cassis, plum preserves and ripe blackberries, with emerging suggestions of unsmoked cigars, tilled soil and cedar chest, plus a waft of pencil lead. The medium to full-bodied palate is still very tightly wound, offering finely packed black fruit and earthy layers within a frame of firm, grainy tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long and mineral laced. This will need a good 5-6 years to come around and then will drink beautifully over the next 20+ years.

94 James Suckling
Currants and blackberries with crushed stone and fresh herbs. Some flower stem, too. It’s full-bodied, yet tight and linear with firm, driven tannins. This needs four or five years of bottle age to open and come together. Try after 2025.

Château Beychevelle
Sis dans la région de Saint-Julien à Bordeaux, le Château Beychevelle, Cru Classé, arbore l’une des étiquettes les plus reconnaissables de tout le Médoc. Le dessin qui y figure s’inspire du passage des voiliers sur l’Estuaire qui baissaient leurs voiles pour saluer le propriétaire de l’époque, le Duc d’Epernon, Amiral de France. Plus connu désormais sous le nom de « Bateau-Dragon », ce vin des plus convoités au monde, a trouvé les faveurs des Chinois notamment. Son vignoble, qui atteint aujourd’hui une superficie considérable de 90 hectares, est consacré à la culture de cabernet-sauvignon, merlot et cabernet franc, auxquels s’ajoutent quelques pieds de petit verdot. Dernièrement, des investissements importants ont été dédiés aux installations de vinification, aux chais et aux salles d’accueil. Le magnifique chai de vinification actuel, conçu par Arnaud Boulain et Atelier BPM, laisse entrevoir le processus de vinification à travers ses parois vitrées.
