Note di degustazione
The 2022 from Ch. Beychevelle has an impressive deep crimson colour with sweet-toned aromatics, notably on the red-fruit spectrum. Beychevelle is always a polished style of Saint-Julien and it has coped well with the natural concentration of the vintage. The tannins are dense but nicely rounded, providing impressive structure while remaining integrated. It also has found that lovely balance of fresh fruit and sweeter tones that feature in the best wines from this warm vintage. Blend: 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot

The 2022 Beychevelle tasted superb just after bottling but I am not convinced by this example, which felt a little over-ripe and bitter compared to its peers. I shall not mark based on this. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting in London.
The 2022 Beychevelle has turned out nicely, offering up aromas of ripe berry compote mingled with notions of petals, espresso roast and rich, toasty oak. Medium to full-bodied, sweet and fleshy, it's velvety and layered, with plenty of powdery tannin lurking behind its ripe core of fruit. It's a blend of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot and 4% Petit Verdot. Fans of contemporary Beychevelle's rich, lusty style will love it.
The 2022 Château Beychevelle comes from 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot, and 4% Petit Verdot that spent 18 months in barrel. Its deep ruby/purple hue is followed by an absolutely stunning nose of crème de cassis and plum fruit intermixed with leafy herbs, spring flowers, and crushed stone-like minerality. This full-bodied Beychevelle has a pure, elegant mouthfeel, finely polished tannins, no hard edges, and a great, great finish. This is brilliant stuff that already offers pleasure today yet will cruise over the following two to three decades. It's the finest Beychevelle I've tasted.
Informazioni sul produttore
With greater care in the vineyard and more precision in the winery, Ch. Beychevelle's star is rising. That's in large part due to the leadership of Philippe Blanc and investment by current owners, Japanese brewers Suntory and French wine group Castel.
