A wine with a bright purple color and a nose that opens with aromas of blackberry, black cherry and dark chocolate. The palate combines strength, freshness and length, supported by a fruity, silky structure. A generous wine that is a true expression of the great terroirs.

Chateau Beychevelle Description
Since its origins, Château Beychevelle has embodied the full finesse of Saint Julien’s great terroirs. Complex and endowed with great aromatic richness, it is made from the finest vineyard parcels and a rigorous selection process. A true wine for aging, it reveals itself after around ten years and evolves with each vintage.
Wine Enthusiast: 95 Points
The wine's structure and serious tannins are, happily, balanced by the rich generosity of the fruit flavors. Together, the two elements of this very fine wine will allow it to develop with weight and concentration.
James Suckling: 94 Points
A very polished and refined 2020 with a medium body, integrated tannins and a pretty texture. Nice currant, light chocolate and cedar undertones. Fresh finish. Drink after 2026.
Wine Spectator: 94 Points
Delivers vivid fruit, with an eye-catching beam of cassis, kirsch and plum sauce notes that flow through nicely, supported by a light brambly edge and a well-inlaid graphite spine. The finish is scored by violet and anise as the fruit lingers. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot.
Vinous: 94 Points
The 2020 Beychevelle has an open-knit, very well-defined bouquet with pure black cherries, bilberry, veins of blueberry and crushed violet. There's just a touch of new oak still waiting to be assimilated. The palate is lavish and very ripe, displaying black fruit tinged with notes of fig and date, turning almost exotic toward teh lascivious finish. Perhaps, for Beychevelle, this is modern in style. It's a world away from the slightly herbal showing in barrel, but bottle age ought to temper its hedonistic urges.
Wine Advocate: 93 Points
Rich and muscular, the 2020 Beychevelle offers up aromas of cassis, blackberries and baked plums mingled with notions of spices, pencil shavings and toasty new oak. Medium to full-bodied, thick and fleshy, with an ample core of fruit framed by powdery, generously extracted tannins that assert themselves on the finish, this is a more powerful, chunky Beychevelle than the suave 2019.
