Chateau Beychevelle Description
Introducing Chateau Beychevelle's Amiral de Beychevelle, a captivating Bordeaux wine that embodies elegance and finesse. Born from the same rigorous selection process as its distinguished older sibling, the grand vin, this vibrant red is crafted from young vines and a blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon and 32% Merlot. The 2019 vintage features rich colors, well-defined fresh fruit, and a moderate alcohol content, while its exquisite tannic structure exhibits depth and sophistication. With the potential to age gracefully for up to fifteen years, Amiral de Beychevelle offers an exceptional taste experience for wine enthusiasts seeking the exuberance of youth.
The Amiral de Beychevelle captivates the senses with its deep ruby hue and a bouquet of ripe red fruits, cassis, and subtle hints of cedar. On the palate, this wine presents a beautiful harmony of flavors, showcasing blackcurrant and cherry notes, followed by a touch of spice and a whisper of earthiness. Its elegant tannins and refreshing acidity provide an alluring framework, culminating in a lingering, velvety finish.
Amiral de Beychevelle's vibrant character and well-balanced structure make it an ideal companion for a variety of dishes. Pair this delightful Bordeaux with roasted or grilled red meats, such as beef tenderloin or lamb chops, to enhance its fruity undertones. Its elegance and depth also complement rich, savory dishes like duck confit or mushroom risotto. For an exquisite cheese pairing, try aged, hard cheeses like Gruyère or Comté. Indulge in the full vivacity of Amiral de Beychevelle and elevate your dining experience

2020 Amiral De Beychevelle checks in as 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Petit Verdot. It gives up a rich, juicy nose of ripe red and blue fruits, spring flowers, Christmas spice, and tobacco. Medium to full-bodied, it's nicely textured, has velvety tannins, good mid-palate depth, and a great finish.
Decanter: 91 Points
Clearly more intensity and tannic power than the Brulieres, there is a violet edging to the damson colour. The tannins are pretty big, as I am finding in so many second wines in this vintage, as estates make the choice to ensure the first wines have a more sleek and elegant feel, but once you give it time in the glass, the blackberry and loganberry fruit softens.
