[Amiral de Beychevelle 2013]
Located in Saint-Julien, Chateau Beychevelle is a renowned Bordeaux Fourth Growth estate, its character shaped by three centuries of experience.In 1587, the estate belonged to Duc D’Epernon, the governor of the Bordeaux region at the time, who later became the commander-in-chief of the French Navy. "Beychevelle" evolved from the French term Baisse-Voile (lower the sail), and legend has it that ships passing by the estate had to lower their sails as a sign of respect to this nobleman. Duc D’Epernon was very fond of this, so he decided that the estate's emblem would depict a dragon ship with its sails half lowered, and he named the estate "Beychevelle."The wine label features the mythical creature "Griffin," which in mythology guards the wine cellar for the wine god, as the figurehead of the ship.In addition, Duke D’Epernon also built a luxurious palace, which has been preserved to this day.The architecture is magnificent, with a grand triangular wall at the top, flanked by wing-shaped carvings on both sides, adorned with spiral floral carvings and bottle-shaped motifs, creating a Baroque classical architectural style for the winery.
"Amiral de Beychevelle 2013 gives a full and juicy feeling, providing a lightly toasted framework for the flavors of black pear, blueberry, and blackberry, with a lingering finish of mixed chocolate and cream."It is drinkable now, but there's no need to rush.2014 to 2024 will be the best time."- Wine Spectator
