The Château Beychevelle Saint-Julien 2014 is a Fourth classified growth. It already reveals power and a beautiful structure that turns into creamy tannins. On the palate, one discovers roundness, persistence and enjoyable characteristics - due to the fine grapes of Cabernet Sauvignon - which foreshadow a perfectly balanced wine. This is a promising 2014 Beychevelle, one among the best.
The 2014 Beychevelle has a very comely, pure bouquet with heightened dark cherry, blackcurrant and wilted violet scents rendering it almost more Margaux-like than Saint Julien. The palate is medium-bodied, svelte in texture with light tannin. It is a nimble Beychevelle, light on its feet with wonderful freshness and tension towards the finish. This is a very well-crafted wine from Philippe Blanc and his team, a St. Julien that is nimble on its toes.
