Beychevelle 2001 is a Bordeaux blend from the Saint-Julien appellation. The estate is situated on deep gravel soils that encourage the Cabernet Sauvignon to develop refined, floral aromatics and a firm structural core. The 2001 vintage produced a classical, structured wine that has evolved into a complex, savoury expression. It shows a harmonious balance between the fruit core and the results of bottle age, offering a sophisticated finish of cedar, tobacco, graphite and blackcurrant that illustrates the finesse often associated with this historic Médoc property.
