[Chateau Beychevelle 2008 Magnum Size (1500 ml)]

James Suckling rating: 96/100

Located in Saint-Julien, Chateau Beychevelle is a renowned Bordeaux Fourth Growth estate, whose characteristics have been refined over three centuries.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 in 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 half lowered, and he named the estate "Beychevelle."The wine label features the mythical creature "Griffin," which 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 patterns and bottle-shaped decorations, creating a Baroque classical architectural style for the winery.

"This elegant and meticulously crafted Beychevelle 2008 showcases rich aromas of red and black cherries, intertwined with notes of fertile soil and oak. The acidity and tannins are well-balanced, and both the intensity and length are impressive."Give it 1-3 years of cellaring, from 2010 onwards, and it will be suitable for enjoyment over the next 15-18 years.
