Description

Château Beychevelle is a 4ème Cru Classé St-Julien wine property that boasts one of the most impressive châteaux in the whole of the Médoc. Its label depicts a beautiful galley with a large sail, as a consequence of its ownership in the 16th century by the Duc d`Eperon, Admiral of France at the time. The expression "Baisse-Vaille", meaning "lower sails", later evolved into the name Beychevelle.

Beychevelle's 85 hectares of vineyards are located in the far south of the St-Julien appellation, just outside the hamlet of St-Julien-Beychevelle. The wine is typically a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot. It is matured in oak barrels (50-60% new) for 18 months. It is renowned for its suppleness, smoothness and its rich, and sometimes chocolatey character.

The best examples from the best Beychevelle vintages are powerful and concentrated, with oodles of almost sweet, ultra-ripe Cabernet fruit, and can age effortlessly.

Tasting note from Winedoctor.com
Château Beychevelle (St Julien) 1970: Served blind. Pure and aromatic on the nose, elegant and stylish, very meaty but bright too. Elegant, stony, perfumed, gravelly, a little note of crushed seashells which I usual take as a sign of a reasonable amount of bottle age. Clean but certainly substantial on the palate, amazingly meaty, pure and perfumed, with sappy-stony fruit like that on the nose. Grippy, but balanced, this is a delicious wine. This is one of just a small handful of clarets I have tasted from this vintage - the year I was born - and on the whole they have been very good indeed. 18/20 (March 2009)
