Château De Béchaud 2022

Ideally located at the bottom of the slope of the village of Saint-Emilion, this medium-sized property is one of the sleepers of the Appellation. Harvest is done by hand, low yield and meticulous sorting of the grapes result in a sumptuous blend of 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernets.
