Winemaker Notes

This is the first time in the estate's history that the naturalalcoholic degree was so high: more than 14.4% for Merlot and12.5% for the Cabernets. Initial tastings showed the wines to bedeeply-coloured and very fruity. The 2008 vintage has turned outto be a pleasant surprise after the challenges encountered duringthe growing season. It seems very likely that 2008 vintage willbe superior to 2007.

Critical Acclaim

All Vintages

JS 96

James Suckling

A subtle, refined 2009 with complex aromas and flavors of currant, smoke, mineral and lead pencil. Full body with ultra-refined tannins and a long, long finish. An integrated, beautiful Beychevelle. Hard not to drink now but will be much better in 2017: a wine for long-term aging.

WE 91

Wine Enthusiast

A big, spicy wine, packed with new wood as well as ripe, soft fruit. It's smooth, polished and balanced. Fine tannins add to the structure.

WS 90

Wine Spectator

This has a slightly brawny edge, but feels like it's filling out quickly, with lush, dark fig sauce, black licorice snap and graphite notes taking on more depth as it airs in the glass. Extra black tea and anise hints flash on the finish. Drink now through 2019. 20,833 cases made.

Chateau Beychevelle

Chateau Beychevelle, A prestigious Cru Classe whose character has been forged by three centuries of history... Nowhere does the word Chateau in its noblest sense ring as true as it does at Beychevelle.

The elegance of its classical architecture makes it a jewel in the crown of the Médoc, coveted since its creation by the powerful families who have successively marked the economic, political and cultural life of Bordeaux and the regio.
