Chateau Beychevelle 2015 - Case of 12 Bottles (75cl)The 2015 Beychevelle is a blend of 47% Merlot, 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot aged 18 months in barrel, 50% of which were new and 50% second fill. Medium to deep garnet purple in color, it's scented of smoked meats, scorched earth, garrigue and new leather with a core of cassis, cherry cordial and plum preserves. The medium bodied palate is a little firm but delicate, with lovely vibrancy and a bit of grip on the finish.

There is class and sophistication in situ

Cabernet Sauvignon 18%

since Montrose tends to repay cellaring

Robert Parker: 95-97 / 100

The pale gold robe with silver highlights is highlighted by a beautiful carpet of foam

Sauvignon Gris 5%

earth and broad-ranging red berry fruit suffused nose

the Cuvée Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru would be the ideal aperitif

Certainly this has lost the corpulence that it showed in barrel

This second label of Mouton Rothschild is representing approximately 25% of the crop

Terroirs: Santenots du Dessous 0

The palate is medium-bodied with supple and ripe tannin
