Château Beychevelle "Amiral de Beychevelle" 2023 (75cl)

Château Beychevelle stands in Saint-Julien, on the Gironde. Its name is tied to the legend of the Duke of Épernon, and the ship on the label keeps that memory alive. The elegant eighteenth-century buildings and gardens make it one of the most recognisable estates of the Médoc, classified as a fourth grand cru in 1855. Deep gravel soils close to the estuary form the natural starting point. The modern cellar, designed by Arnaud Boulain, returns to the estate's history through references to sails and shipping.
