The nose is elegant, powerful, precise and offers a beautiful grain as well as a beautiful density. It reveals notes of wild blackcurrant, wild strawberry and small notes of violet, Cuben pepper combined with fine notes of Ceylon tea, exotic spices as well as very discreet notes of undergrowth and tonka bean. The palate is fruity, juicy, elegant, nicely indulgent, precise and offers a beautiful definition, a tangy/juicy structure, a slightly frank side, complexity as well as richness (but full of finesse and elegance). On the palate, this wine expresses notes of juicy/tangy blackcurrant, juicy/tangy raspberry and small touches of tangy/juicy wild blackberry combined with fine notes of juicy/tangy small red fruits, undergrowth, flowers (violet, lilac), caramelisation, undergrowth as well as a very discreet note of tonka bean. The tannins are elegant and well constructed. 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 flavours, 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 growth classified wine (official 1855 Médoc wine classification) from the Saint-Julien appellation. Located on the left bank of the Médoc, the vineyard covers 92 hectares of vines. The vines are approximately 30 years old and benefit from sustainable farming practices.

Château Beychevelle is a classic Saint-Julien: roundness, richness of aromas, and power. The classic harmony of the greatest Médoc wines, which deserves much more than its fourth growth status in the 1855 classification. The best vintages of Beychevelle are undoubtedly 1982 and the 1986 vintage. The wines from 1989, 2000 and 2005 grands crus are equally exceptional. Finally, the château has also produced great vintages such as 2009, 2010 and the 2015 vintage.
