CHATEAU BEYCHEVELLE 2021, ST-JULIEN

Description

Grape: 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot, 2% Cabernet Franc

The sunshine at the end of the summer, in August and September, combined with the earliness of our terroirs, created favourable ripening conditions for grapes, especially our Cabernet Sauvignon, the proportion of which has reached a historically high level in the
blend of Château Beychevelle. This growing season, which was more spread out than usual, also had a beneficial effect
on the sanitary state level of the harvest. The climatic conditions during the harvest, with cooler mornings, allowed us to maintain
both the freshness of the harvested grapes and the great finesse and purity of the tannins.

Food & Wine pairing

• Red Meat: Beef, lamb, and venison are excellent choices.
• Poultry: Roasted chicken or duck, especially with rich sauces or accompaniments, complements the wine’s structure.
• Game: Dishes featuring deer or other game meats are a natural fit.
• Other options: Consider dishes with mushrooms, or even certain cheeses, as the wine’s complexity allows for some flexibility.
