CHATEAU BEYCHEVELLE, 2005

SAINT-JULIEN

"The Grand Vin, Beychevelle 2005, is a magnificent wine, with abundant aromas of crème de cassis, floral notes, undergrowth, and forest floor. It is soft and medium to full-bodied, with ripe tannins, a beautiful texture, and great purity." - Robert Parker 93 / 100

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).
