Château Beychevelle 2022

Wineadvocate

The 2022 Beychevelle has turned out nicely, offering up aromas of ripe berry compote mingled with notions of petals, espresso roast and rich, toasty oak. Medium to full-bodied, sweet and fleshy, it's velvety and layered, with plenty of powdery tannin lurking behind its ripe core of fruit. It's a blend of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot and 4% Petit Verdot. Fans of contemporary Beychevelle's rich, lusty style will love it. 03/2025

Vinous

Beck

Superbe bouquet marqué par des notes fruitées, florales et minérales, respectivement des notes de cassis, de camomille, d'eucalyptus et finalement un peu de graphite. Je relève également des nuances de torréfaction, mais elles ne sont pas dominantes. Dense et profond, le vin crée le lien entre charme et puissance. Ses tannins compacts, suaves et aux grains fins confèrent une assise précieuse, tandis que la structure acide assure tempérament et fraîcheur. Un vin entraînant et persistant.

Dunnuck

The 2022 Château Beychevelle comes from 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot, and 4% Petit Verdot that spent 18 months in barrel. Its deep ruby/purple hue is followed by an absolutely stunning nose of crème de cassis and plum fruit intermixed with leafy herbs, spring flowers, and crushed stone-like minerality. This full-bodied Beychevelle has a pure, elegant mouthfeel, finely polished tannins, no hard edges, and a great, great finish. This is brilliant stuff that already offers pleasure today yet will cruise over the following two to three decades. It's the finest Beychevelle I've tasted. 02/2025
