Chateau Beychevelle 2014 - Case of 6 Bottles (75cl)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.

the finesse of Chardonnay "extra brut" expresses itself fully

unapologetically classic in style with just the right amount of austerity on the aristocratic finish

Give this Pauillac 4-5 years in bottle and it is likely to repay you

Ratings: BH 91-93

The robe is very pale gold colour with light reflections

a dash of white pepper

rich fruitiness

The mouth is silky and full of rose aroma but not overly sweet as some Pinot Gris

it has a very pure bouquet that gains intensity in the glass

but it is not far off

it slips provocatively out of the glass with a lifted perfume of roses

This champagne is perfect for an aperitif and also delicious when served with a seafood platter
