Variant

Lisa Perrotti-Brown for Robert Parker

The 2018 Beychevelle needs a little air to release classic aromas of cassis, plum jam, ripe blackberries, unsmoked cigars, tilled earth and cedar wood, plus a hint of pencil lead. On the palate it is medium to full-bodied and still very taut. Fine black fruits and earthy layers show up within a framework of firm, grainy tannins and just enough freshness. The finish is long and mineral .

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.
