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 is one of the most emblematic estates of the Saint-Julien appellation, on the left bank of Bordeaux. Classified as a Fourth Grand Cru Classé in 1855, it has embodied for several centuries a singular style, at once elegant, balanced and profoundly Médocain. Its name, derived from the legend of "Baisse-Voile" (Lower the Sail), directly refers to its majestic location on the banks of the Gironde and its historical role in Bordeaux river trade.

The vineyard of Château Beychevelle extends over approximately 90 hectares, planted predominantly with Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot, Cabernet Franc and a small proportion of Petit Verdot. The deep gravel soils, typical of Saint-Julien, ensure optimal drainage and promote regular maturation, contributing to the qualitative consistency of the cru.

The wines of Beychevelle are distinguished by their harmony, silky texture and aromatic finesse, combining black fruits, spicy notes and a subtly oaked touch. Capable of evolving gracefully over several decades, they rank among the classic references of the Médoc. Vintages such as Château Beychevelle 1947, Château Beychevelle 1967, Château Beychevelle 1989, Château Beychevelle 1983, Château Beychevelle 1986, Château Beychevelle 2005, perfectly illustrate the consistency and ageing potential of this great wine.
