Château BeychevelleLes Brulières de Beychevelle 2020

About this wine

Brulières de Beychevelle is the second wine from this legendary Haut-Médoc estate, and it's a smart move if you want to taste what Château Beychevelle is all about without breaking the bank. This 2020 vintage shows you exactly why this historic property has been making waves since the 18th century.

On the nose, you'll find ripe red fruits with hints of graphite and cedar, a classic signature of well-made left bank Bordeaux. The palate is smooth and balanced, with silky tannins that make it approachable now but also patient enough to age a few more years. The blend of cabernet sauvignon and merlot works in perfect harmony, with the merlot adding softness to the structure.

This is a wine that loves good company at the table. Pair it with duck confit, beef stew, or even a well-aged cheese board. At 13% alcohol, it's elegant and won't overpower your meal. Serve it at around 16 to 17 degrees Celsius, and consider opening it thirty minutes before you pour to let it breathe a little.
