Winespectator.com, Mar 31, 2007
Shows gorgeous aromas of crushed raspberry and mineral. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a long, caressing finish. A very pretty wine. The best Beychevelle since 2000.

Built in magnificent 18th century Louis XV style, Chateau Beychevelle sits in the St. Julien district of the Medoc, with neighbors including Chateau Gloria and Chateau St. Pierre. The name Beychevelle was derived from the expression “Baisse-Vaille” meaning “lower sails”. This act was a symbol of respect by the French Navy to the Duc d’Eperon, who was Admiral of France at the time and 16th century owner of the estate.
