Our oenologists' opinion
Powerful bouquet
The nose is bold, marked by notes of mocha and tobacco, before opening up to reveal aromas of roasted black fruits.
The attack is full-bodied, supported by a lovely richness and harmonious balance.
The palate displays a distinct character of roasted prunes and spices, with a full-bodied and consistent structure.
The finish is medium-length, supported by a clean aftertaste that prolongs the aromas with intensity.

Features
Body ? The body is the way a wine feels inside the mouth. Several factors, such as the alcohol content and the presence of tannins, contribute to the feel of the wine.
Freshness ? The freshness of a wine is defined by its level of acidity. Unlike rounded wines, fresh wines are easy to drink, and are more lively. Acidity plays a necessary part in a wine's structure.
Aging ? All wines do not have the same aging potential. Some are supposed to be consumed at a young age while others must be kept for longer periods of time.
Tannins ? Coming from stems, grape pips and their storage barrels, the tannin gives structure to red wines only.

BEYCHEVELLE
In Old French, ‘Beychevelle’ means ‘lower your sails’.
The name is said to be linked to Jean-Louis Nogaret de la Valette, who demanded that ships lower their sails as a sign of respect when passing in front of his château.
