Amiral De Beychevelle 2020, Saint-Julien

Built in 1565, Château Beychevelle has long been celebrated for its exceptional wines. It was recognised as a Fourth Growth estate in the prestigious 1855 Bordeaux classification, and today the team continues to uphold its stellar reputation. This is their second wine – made with the same care and precision as their grand vin, but from younger vines and with a higher proportion of Merlot in the blend. You’ll find it fantastically approachable, and full of the elegance and finesse Château Beychevelle is famed for. Discover rich flavours of blackberry, cassis, spice and tobacco, plus silky tannins and a smooth texture. It’ll continue to age well in bottle for another 15 years, but it’s also drinking well now – enjoy it with red meats like lamb, or with hard cheeses.
