Château Beychevelle is a 4ème Cru Classé St-Julien wine estate with one of the most impressive châteaux in the whole of the Médoc. The 2008 is a blend of 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 47% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc. Elegant and powerful, expressing aromas of red fruit, blackcurrants and spices.

The 2008 Beychevelle was undeservedly relegated to the "off-vintages" during this tasting, but it is certainly not that. This has plenty of blackberry, cedar, ash and pencil lead scents on the nose. It has real Saint-Julien typicité. The palate is medium-bodied with solid tannins. The texture feels a bit gritty, but there is freshness and classicism from start to finish, with just the right amount of dryness on the finish. Very fine. Tasted at the Beychevelle vertical at the property.

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.
