Chateau Beychevelle St. Julien

”2010 a vintage with a great deal of sunshine typical of outstanding vintages despite a cold spell in late may/early june and major variations in temperature the winter of 2009-2010 and the growing season that followed were marked by very favorable weather. Bud break became widespread in the latter part of april and was fairly even. Veraison began in late july and took place slowly and fairly evenly. Harvest started on the 27th of september. The quality of the grapes was excellent thanks to a meticulous work done in the vineyard combined with a very favorable weather during the year. Chateau beychevelle 2010 has a very deep colour. The wine is tremendously fruity. The well-focused acidity makes for a superb balance and great ageing potential.” – chateau beychevelle
