Located within the Saint-Julien appellation, Château Beychevelle is a Fourth Growth estate covering approximately 250 hectares. Beychevelle offers three different red wines, which are all produced with the same level of care. Initially restrained on the nose, the 2006 vintage unfolds beautifully on the palate, revealing dense, supple blue and black fruit. The emergence of a delightful potpourri hint adds an appealing layer, and with time, the wine is expected to further blossom in complexity.
