CHATEAU BEYCHEVELLE, 2004
SAINT-JULIEN
Beychevelle is in full revival, as evidenced by the achievements of recent years. A good example of this château, the elegant 2004 vintage marked by finesse, presents aromas of black cherry and blackcurrant mixed with notes of loamy earth, dried herbs, and spicy oak. Medium-bodied, elegant, finely tuned, and of refined style, it lacks neither flavor nor depth." - Robert Parker

History and anecdotes
Château Beychevelle is a prestigious Cru Classé whose history dates back to the 16th century. Powerful families have stayed there, including the First Duke of Épernon and Grand Admiral of France, Jean-Louis Nogaret de la Valette, who acquired the property under Henry II. According to legend, ships passing in front of his Château had to lower their sails as a sign of allegiance, hence the name Beychevelle: "lower sail." Today, the estate is owned by Grands Millésimes de France (Castel and Suntory groups).
