[Amiral de Beychevelle 2018]

James Suckling's rating: 92/100

Located in Saint-Julien, Chateau Beychevelle is a renowned Bordeaux Fourth Growth estate that has undergone three centuries of refinement.In 1587, the estate belonged to the then governor of the Bordeaux region, Duke D’Epernon, who later became the commander 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 for the 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 lowered, and he named the estate "Beychevelle."The wine label features the mythical creature "Griffin," which guarded the wine cellar for the wine god, as the figurehead of the ship.

Aroma of dark fruits with hints of cedar and herbs. Full-bodied with firm tannins. Balanced in taste and structure, very delicious. The performance will be even better after 2023.

Grape variety:

62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc
