Les Brulieres de Beychevelle 2022 750ml

Les Brulières de Beychevelle 2022 is a refined Bordeaux red wine from Saint-Julien, produced as a second wine associated with the prestigious Château Beychevelle. The cuvée offers an approachable expression of the estate's Médoc character, combining ripe dark fruit with elegant floral aromas, polished tannins and a fresh, balanced finish.

The 2022 vintage benefits from a warm and dry growing season, producing generous fruit concentration while retaining the structure and freshness necessary for a well-balanced Bordeaux blend. Cabernet Sauvignon provides depth and structure, while Merlot contributes softness and ripe fruit character, complemented by Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.

The wine presents aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and plum alongside subtle violet, cedar, spice and earthy nuances. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied with polished tannins, fresh acidity and a lingering finish.
