A wine born from legend and crafted with grace. From the heart of Saint-Julien, the 2017 Beychevelle captures the château’s signature elegance with aromas of violets, cassis, and cedar, unfolding into silky tannins and a long, mineral-laced finish. Nicknamed the "Versailles of the Médoc," Beychevelle is as regal in the glass as it is in history. This vintage reflects finesse, structure, and the promise of decades in your cellar.

Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2017 Beychevelle has a fragrant, floral nose with warm cassis, preserved plums and Morello cherries plus earth, herbs and cinnamon touches. Medium-bodied, it has lovely expression with firm, fine grained tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and mineral laced. The wine was aged for 18 months in French oak, 60% new and 40% second fill. The final blend is 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc. Fifty-two percent of the production was dedicated to the grand vin, with 240,000 bottles produced.

Aromas of flowers, berries and light cedar with some milk-chocolate undertones. Medium body. Creamy tannins and a firm, caressing finish. Shows tension and focus. Better after 2022.
