Lisa Perrotti-Brown for Robert Parker

The 2016 Beychevelle is a little reserved at first, opening slowly to reveal subtle spicy notes of dried herbs and black olives before breaking through to an intense core of warm cassis, baked black plums, red currant jelly and candied violets. On the palate it is medium-bodied and delicate with intense nuances and fantastic freshness, ending with a lingering spicy kick

Château Beychevelle

The Château Beychevelle, a magnificent estate and considered one of the most beautiful châteaus in Bordeaux.

It is located in the renowned wine region of Saint-Julien in Bordeaux and is a symbol of elegance, tradition and first-class winemaking. The winery is picturesquely situated on the banks of the Gironde and has been a byword for exceptional wines and a rich history for centuries.

The name is derived from the term "baisse-voile" ("to lower the sails") and refers to the legend according to which passing ships lowered their sails in honor of the owner of the house, the first Duke of Epernon, Jean-Louis Nogaret of Valetta. The ship with the bird of prey's head and lowered sails still adorns the Beychevelle label. For Bordeaux lovers, Château Beychevelle is one of the best addresses for impressive, sophisticated Saint-Juliens.
