Château Beychevelle 4ème Grand Cru Classé 1994

Château Beychevelle, a Fourth Growth (Quatrième Cru) from the prestigious Saint-Julien appellation in Bordeaux, is celebrated for its elegance and power. Its name, derived from "Bêcha vêla" (meaning "lower the sails"), originates from a 17th-century tradition where ships would salute its admiral-owner by lowering their sails. This unique heritage adds to the brand's prestigious identity. The vineyards benefit from deep Garonne gravel soils and the Gironde estuary's climate-regulating influence, creating an ideal terroir for its classic blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with touches of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The estate's winemaking philosophy combines historical tradition with modern technology, producing powerful, fleshy, and elegant wines renowned for their aging potential. Grands Millésimes de France currently owns the property, and it features a new, state-of-the-art winery built in 2016. 

The 1994 Château Beychevelle is a graceful and well-balanced Saint-Julien, presenting a light to medium-bodied profile. While not considered the estate's most profound vintage, it beautifully reflects the finesse of its terroir and is highly drinkable.

On the nose, it offers an elegant and expressive bouquet of red fruit, intertwined with subtle notes of licorice, vanilla, and toasted oak. The palate is dominated by red fruit flavors, featuring a sweet attack, firm yet well-integrated tannins, and low acidity, culminating in a harmonious structure and a smooth finish.
