Chateau Beychevelle Saint-Julien Grand Vin 2017

The 2017 Chateau Beychevelle is a distinguished Quatrième Grand Cru Classé from the Saint-Julien appellation in Bordeaux. This vintage features a deep garnet-purple color and a complex aromatic profile of ripe cassis, black cherries, and plums, complemented by floral notes and hints of smoky, toasted oak. On the palate, the wine is rich and voluminous with a silky texture, structured by well-enveloped tannins and a refreshing acidity that carries into a long finish. Composed of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot, and 1% Cabernet Franc, it is a powerful yet elegant wine with an optimal drinking window between 2026 and 2040.
