Saint-Julien, Bordeaux, France

The definition of a Saint-Julien: racy, supple and expressive 

With no less than 70 hectares in the famous Saint-Julien appellation, Château Beychevelle has become a must-have. The blend is made up largely of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with a bit of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot to round it off. A rigorous selection process takes place in the vineyard to keep only the best grapes. The wine is delicate and balanced, rich in tannins and charming with its aromas of fruit and spices. Considering their excellent structure, these wines can be aged extensively. Many are the wine enthusiasts from France and beyond who seek this wine in its mature vintages, particularly accomplished. It will pair well with red meat but it welcomes more creative dishes, too!
