Château Beychevelle 01

This wine is elegant and harmonious, graceful and effective. It fits completely into the characteristics of the region, with nothing standing out especially. Aromas of black fruit, intermingled with other curious ones: wood, spices, toast and balsamic. The ensemble is reproduced on the palate; it is easy to drink, with pleasing tannins.

62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. Aged in barrels for 18 months. Bottled on June 26, 2003.
