In line with the exceptional 2009 vintage, 2010 has made Chateau Beychevelle shine among the greatest names in Saint Julien. Chateau Beychevelle is a prestigious benchmark of the appellation on the Left Bank of the Bordeaux region, and is ideally located on a magnificent terroir on the edge of the Gironde estuary.
The Chateau Beychevelle 2010 blend consists of Cabernet Sauvignon (54%), Merlot (38%), Cabernet Franc (5%) and Petit Verdot (3%), all which reveal the refinement and complexity of the vintage.
The freshness of the fruit characterizes the Chateau Beychevelle 2010. The bouquet reveals complex aromas of black fruit, spice and licorice while the palate offers a generous mouthfeel. The strength of its personality is in its structure with its refined and round tannins. The Château Beychevelle 2010 elegantly stretches to the very end with a persistent finish. A magnificent vintage for this exceptional Saint Julien.
Deep garnet colored, the 2010 Beychevelle comes roaring out of the glass with bombastic scents of baked blackcurrants, plum preserves and Black Forest cake plus touches of potpourri, cedar chest and iron ore. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has evolved black fruit flavors and a firm, chewy texture, finishing with nice freshness and a spicy kick.
