Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

A brilliant wine that makes the most of the vintage, the 2023 Château Beychevelle sports sensational aromatics of cassis and lively berries intermixed with sappy tobacco, spring flowers, graphite, and a wonderful sense of minerality. It's medium to full-bodied and silky on the palate, with ripe, polished tannins, perfectly integrated acidity, and a gorgeous finish. The balance, purity, and just overall harmony here are top-notch, and while I like it even today, it will cruise for 25 years in a cold cellar. This is a legit fabulous 2023 that deserves a place in the cellar. Drink 2026-2051.

About the Producer

About the Producer

Château Beychevelle, with its refined architecture overlooking the Gironde estuary, is an iconic figure of the Saint-Julien appellation in the Médoc. Its picturesque name evokes the era when ships would salute the Duc d'Épernon, Admiral of France, by lowering their sails. This Fourth Grand Cru Classé, now owned by Grands Millésimes de France and managed by Philippe Blanc, benefits from a remarkable terroir of deep gravel, where Cabernet Sauvignon expresses itself with splendor. The wines of Château Beychevelle are distinguished by their natural elegance, silky texture, and aromatic complexity, offering a perfect balance between power and finesse. It is said that the Duc d'Épernon, owner of the estate, loved Beychevelle so much that he had a veritable palace built there. In addition to its grand vin, Château Beychevelle, the estate also produces L'Amiral de Beychevelle, a second wine of great delicacy, as well as Les Brulières de Beychevelle, a more accessible expression of the Saint-Julien terroir. A Haut-Médoc harmoniously completes the range of this prestigious estate. The domain works notably with appellations such as Quatrièmes Crus, which consistently extend its signature. Among the most sought-after cuvées are Château Beychevelle, Château Beychevelle 'Amiral de Beychevelle', and Les Brulières de Beychevelle, all useful benchmarks for understanding the house's identity.
