Served from ex-chateau double magnum at the Academie du Vin dinner...wow! I have had this several times from bottle, but this large format was in another league. The nose is vital and vivacious with attractive crisp blackberry and raspberry fruit, cedar, undergrowth and cigar box. The palate is beautifully balanced with the opulence you might expect to find on a 1982. There is a sense of bravado about this Beychevelle and a self-assurance that it is a great Saint Julien. Superb – this is a buccaneering Beychevelle!

Surprisingly fresh, complex and loaded with ripe, sweet dark red fruits, cedar wood, smoke, tobacco and cigar box aromatics that are present in the aromatics and in the finish.

Very evolved color. Intense nose. Very beautiful. Fruity. Varied if not complex. Meat. Tobacco. Plum and especially cedar. Mellow, still very fruity, certainly the wine is a little flowing but its taste is quite unique and its tannicity without dryness makes it very pleasant to swallow. Drink it now without looking for great substance. Has managed to avoid the pitfalls of the year.

Very fresh and clean but rather lean, with berry flavor, medium body and firm tannins.

Château Beychevelle

Château Beychevelle is one of the most iconic estates in the Saint-Julien appellation, on the left bank of Bordeaux. Classified as a Fourth Grand Cru Classé in 1855, it has embodied for several centuries a distinctive style that is both elegant, balanced and deeply Médoc in character. Its name, derived from the legend of "Baisse-Voile" (Lower Sail), directly references its majestic location on the banks of the Gironde and its historical role in Bordeaux river trade.

The Château Beychevelle vineyard extends over approximately 90 hectares, planted predominantly with Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot, Cabernet Franc and a small proportion of Petit Verdot. The deep gravel soils, typical of Saint-Julien, ensure optimal drainage and promote regular maturation, contributing to the consistent quality of the growth.

Beychevelle wines are distinguished by their harmony, silky texture and aromatic finesse, combining black fruits, spicy notes and a subtly oaked touch. Capable of evolving gracefully over several decades, they rank among the classic references of the Médoc. Vintages such as Château Beychevelle 1947, Château Beychevelle 1967, Château Beychevelle 1989, Château Beychevelle 1983, Château Beychevelle 1986, Château Beychevelle 2005, perfectly illustrate the consistency and aging potential of this great wine.
