Ever since it was first produced, the Grand Vin from Château Beychevelle has translated the elegance and finesse of Saint Julien`s terroir. Graceful and complex, with a tremendous aromatic richness, the wine is made from the best plots in the vineyard and undergoes a rigorous selection process. This 1986 vintage has an intense nose, both fruity and spicy. The palate is powerful and yet velvety, with gentle tannins and a ripe mouthfeel.

The 1986 Beychevelle is certainly one of the better wines from a rather inconsistent decade for the property. It's one that I've tasted from various formats over the years. This has a lovely, mature nose with loam, mulberry and pencil-shaving scents; it has lost some of its fruit in recent years. The palate is quite different and one of the fleshier Left Bank wines in an otherwise austere growing season, though it just fades a little on the finish. Tasted at a private dinner in Bordeaux.

A Classic Saint Julien Classed Growth

Reflecting the elegance and finesse of Saint Julien's finest terroirs, fourth growth Château Beychevelle spans 90ha and is renowned for its graceful and complex first wine, made from the best plots in the vineyard and that boasts a wonderful capacity for aging.

A second wine, Amiral de Beychevelle, is also made from young vines. The estate is planted to predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, together with smaller percentages of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Expect supple, balanced wines with tremendous aromatic richness.
