CRITIC REVIEWS
Jeb Dunnuck
The flagship 2018 Château Beychevelle is a more serious, concentrated, focused wine that still has that classic Saint-Julien purity of fruit as well as a wealth of fruit. Gorgeous notes of crème de cassis, chocolate-covered blueberries, violets, spring flowers, tobacco leaf, and cedar notes all emerge from the glass, and its medium to full-bodied, with sweet tannins, moderate acidity, and a great, great finish. A blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 41% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, its one of the sexiest, most up-front and irresistible wines in the vintage. Dont let that scare you, though; its going to drink beautifully for 2-3 decades.
Tom Parker MW
50% Merlot, 41% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot, 3% Cabernet Franc. Deep ruby colour. Pure, attractive cassis on the nose. The palate is smooth with remarkably resolved tannins for this early stage. Oozing with cassis and hints of nutmeg, this seductive and soft wine will be approachable from an early stage. (TP)
