Vertdevin April - 2019
Vertdevin
The nose is elegant, precise and offers a small aromatic power, a beautiful intense/incisive side as well as finesse. It reveals notes of ripe blackcurrant, ripe blackberry and small notes of sweet spices combined with a fine dusty hint, Cuben pepper and very discreet notes of nutmeg, tea, a subtle hint of flowers (in the background) and an imperceptible hint of vanilla and undergrowth. The palate is fruity, juicy, well-balanced and offers good definition, deliciousness, beautiful precision as well as a tangy/juicy structure. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of juicy/tangy blackcurrant, juicy/tangy wild strawberry and small notes of small red fruits combined with fine touches of violet, almond, exotic spices as well as a very discreet note of Ceylon tea and a very discreet dusty side. Good length.

Lovely nose of new oak and creamy blackberries. Seems a little under-powered and maybe a little under-ripe on the palate, but a nice long finish suggests it has potential.

Medium-full bodied, the classically styled wine shows some herbal, leafy nuances along with its red fruits, cranberry and cassis. A bit stoic, the finish offers dusty tannins with its sweet and tart red pit fruits.

Mature ruby, orange reflections. Very Bordeaux on the nose, delicately spicy and with distinct animality, leather, cherries, forest floor, very complex. Soft and accessible on the palate, very nice stage of maturity, medium body, creamy texture, the tannins have largely melted away, the acidity keeps the wine fresh, aromatically not highly complex, but very harmonious in terms of balance. Finishes medium-long on a fine liquorice note.

Château Château Beychevelle
Château Beychevelle
Château Beychevelle

Château Beychevelle watches over the Gironde at the southern tip of Saint-Julien, where the legend of the "lower sail" gave it its name and the griffin-prowed ship its emblem. Classified in 1855, it draws from its deep Garonne gravels a majority of Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, and owes its nickname of "Versailles of the Médoc" to its pleasure château.

Vinified plot by plot and aged in oak barrels, the wines combine silky tannins, dark fruit and great ageing potential. The landmark vintages of the estate range from 1982 and 1986 to 1989 for the great classics, then to 2005 and the 2016 vintage, the first to emerge from the new plot-by-plot winery. L'Amiral de Beychevelle offers the most accessible expression.
