2023 Chateau Beychevelle
We are delighted to offer the newly released 2023 vintage of Chateau Beychevelle. One of the most popular, and therefore fastest selling, wines in each campaign thanks to huge consumer interest in the wine once in bottle, this is well worth buying on release. With scores topping out at a potential high of 96 points and excellent comparative value against older vintages, we’re expecting strong demand for this one.
Antonio Galloni is a big fan of what was achieved here in 2023, saying “This juicy, extroverted Saint-Julien has a ton to offer”and “The combination of fruit intensity, acid and supporting structure is superb”.He gives it an excellent 94-96 points. William Kelley was also impressed, calling this “broad and fleshy, with a deep core of fruit and a classy, suave profile”.
There is an almost insatiable appetite for the St Julien of Beychevelle, which means there is always pressure on supply. It has a loyal following with drinkers around the world and phenomenal brand recognition among consumers who drink the wine. This often means a surge in price once the wine is in bottle, so as the table above demonstrates, buying as close to release as possible is a very shrewd move.

94-96 points Antonio Galloni
The 2023 Beychevelle is fabulous. As always, Beychevelle includes quite a bit more Merlot than most wines in the appellation, but the Cabernet is especially high here. Inky dark fruit, crème de cassis, mocha, licorice and lavender build in the glass. This juicy, extroverted Saint-Julien has a ton to offer. The combination of fruit intensity, acid and supporting structure is superb. The 2023 is showy, but not at all overdone. Beychevelle remains one of the most distinctive wines in all of Bordeaux. It is especially classy in this edition. Tasted two times. (2024) www.vinous.com Drink 2033-2063
93-94 points William Kelley
The 2023 Beychevelle has turned out especially well this year, exhibiting a more integrated, seductive style than recent vintages that were constructed in a punchier, more extracted register. Offering up aromas of cassis and plums mingled with notions of pen ink, violets and pencil shavings, it’s medium to full-bodied, broad and fleshy, with a deep core of fruit and a classy, suave profile that foregrounds the estate’s prime vineyard holdings on the plateau around Ducru-Beaucaillou. It’s a blend of 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 6% Petit Verdot that represents 50% of the estate’s production. (2024) www.robertparker.com
