Generous yet classically shaped, the 2009 Château Beychevelle layers ripe blackcurrant, blueberry and plum with notes of cedar, tobacco leaf, mint and a touch of dark chocolate. The palate is full and velvety, with polished tannins and vibrant acidity giving lift to the rich fruit and leading into a long, savory, graphite-tinged finish that shows the vintage’s opulence without losing St-Julien poise.

Château Beychevelle is the estate’s grand vin, a Cabernet Sauvignon–led Saint-Julien 1855 Fourth Growth that uniquely incorporates an unusually high proportion of Merlot for the Left Bank, giving it a particularly silky texture and aromatic richness. Sourced from deep Garonne gravel terraces overlooking the Gironde estuary, it is classically aged in predominantly new French oak and is known for its poised balance of power and finesse, with black-fruit, spice and subtle cedar notes that evolve beautifully with a decade or more in bottle.
