2020 Les Brulieres de Beychevelle - Haut-Medoc

The ultimate insider's Bordeaux — Grand Cru Classé quality at a fraction of the price, from one of the Médoc's most celebrated and storied estates. Château Beychevelle — nicknamed the "Small Versailles of the Médoc" — has been one of Saint-Julien's most prestigious Grand Cru Classé estates for three centuries, its legendary name deriving from the Gascon "becha vela," meaning "lower the sails," after passing sailors paid homage to the great French admiral who once owned it. Les Brulières is the estate's Haut-Médoc bottling — produced from a 12-hectare vineyard just south of Saint-Julien, managed and crafted by the same Château Beychevelle team under winemaker Philippe Blanc — bringing the same meticulous care and winemaking precision to a wine that sells for a song.
