Château Beychevelle Collection

About

The Heritage & Terroir Situated along the banks of the Gironde estuary, Beychevelle’s 90 hectares of deep gravel terraces provide ideal drainage and natural temperature regulation. The estate's history—reflected in its famous sailing boat label—dates back to the 17th century when ships passing the property lowered their sails in respect to the Grand Admiral of France ( Baisse-Voile , which evolved into "Beychevelle"). Winemaking Precision: A state-of-the-art glass and steel gravity-fed winery allows plot-by-plot vinification, ensuring individual vineyard parcels are matched to their precise oak aging profile. Signature Style: Characterized by ripe cassis, dark cherry, cedar, graphite, and subtle floral notes. While structured and firm in its youth, Beychevelle is renowned for developing a silky, velvet-like texture with time in the cellar. Notable Labels in the Collection Château Beychevelle (Grand Vin): The estate’s flagship release. Crafted from old-vine Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with small portions of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, this wine routinely cellars gracefully for 15 to 30+ years. Amiral de Beychevelle: The estate's official second wine. Sourced primarily from younger vines, Amiral shares the refinement and aromatic charm of the Grand Vin but is crafted for earlier drinking within 3 to 10 years of harvest. Key Vintages for Collectors To build or expand a Bordeaux cellar, top-rated Beychevelle vintages include 2015, 2016, 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2022 —vintages praised by global critics for their density, structural balance, and fruit purity.
