Vertdevin April - 2019
Vertdevin
The nose is elegant, powerful, precise and offers a beautiful grain as well as density. It reveals notes of wild cassis, wild strawberry and small notes of violet, Cuben pepper associated with fine hints of Ceylan tea, exotic spices as well as very discreet hints of underwood and tonka bean. The palate is fruity, juicy, elegant, beautifully gourmand, precise and offers a beautiful definition, an acidulous/juicy frame, a small frank side, complexity as well as richness (but full of finesse and elegance). On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy/acidulous cassis, juicy/acidulous raspberru and small touches of acidulous/juicy wild blackberry associated with fine hints of juicy/acidulous small red berries, underwood, flowers (violet, lilac), caramelization, underwood as well as a very discreet hint of tonka bean. Tannins are elegant and well-built. A beautiful finish !

What a lovely nose on this wine, with exquisite aromatics of kirsch-like, soaring fruit, with hints of eucalyptus and Chinese dried plums. There is Sandalwood and some smokiness over a deep well of cassis and bursting damson fruit. The palate shows stunning concentration for Beychevelle, with a mid-palate richness and breadth of flavour, with bloody, earth-streaked black fruits against a firm tannic framework and an edge of acidity. One of the best 1986's I have tasted, and better balanced than many.

Remarkably complex with rich, concentrated, tannic currant, spice and anise flavors, wrapped in smoky, cedary oak that gets tastier with every sip.

The 1986 Beychevelle, which I tasted from magnum at the château, has what you might describe as a light-hearted nose with joie-de-vivre. Even from a larger format, among many 1986s tasted, this is one of the most approachable with wild strawberry, mulberry, cola and graphite aromas that unfurl in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with spice and clove on the entry. It comes across as fleshier than I was anticipating and atypically for the vintage, tapering towards the finish. Arguably rustic compared to some of its Saint Julien bedfellows, it nonetheless has charm and a sense of classicism.

Château Beychevelle

Château Beychevelle is a fourth classified grand cru (classification of Medoc wines of 1855) of the Saint-Julien appellation. Located on the left bank of the Médoc, the vineyard includes 92 hectares of vines. The vines are around 30 years old and benefit from reasoned treatment. Château Beychevelle is a classic Saint-Julien: roundness, rich aromas, and power. The classic harmony of the greatest Médoc, which deserves much more than the fourth cru of the 1855 classification.

The best vintages of Beychevelle are undoubtedly 1982 and the vintage 1986. The wines of 1989, 2000 and grands crus of 2005 are equally exceptional. Finally, Château Beychevelle has also produced great vintages such as 2009, 2010 and the 2015 vintage.
