17 Rene Gabriel
98: Fassprobe (17/20): Intensives Bouquet, viel Cabernet-Noten, Cassis- und Cabernet-Würze dahinter. Im Gaumen ebenfalls eine tolle Aromatik, Brombeerenfinish, viel Fleisch und Körper. Ein toller St. Julien! 03: Aufhellendes Granat, leuchtend, recht dicht in der Mitte. Berauschend, süsses, nach Caramel, Vanille und reifem Merlot duftendes Bouquet, Sandelholz. Im Gaumen zeigt der Wein viel Frucht, Brombeeren, samtige, ja fast buttrige Tannine, ein sehr erotischer, früh genussreifer St. Julien. 17/20 austrinken (2003 - 2014)

This elegant, stylish, well-delineated Beychevelle offers finesse and beauty in a medium-bodied, firmly-structured, flavorful format. Red and black currants, licorice, minerals, spice, and tar notes are subtle, but persuasive. While it does not cut an enormous swath across the palate, the wine's acidity, alcohol, and tannin are well-balanced. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2016.

Château Beychevelle
Located in the Saint-Julien region of Bordeaux, this Classed Growth, Château Beychevelle has one of the most recognizable labels in all of Médoc. Featuring an estuary boat, the labels show a sail lowered in salute to the estates former owner, the Duc d’Epernon, an Admiral of France. Better known as the “Dragon Boat” wine, it has become one of the most sought after wines around the world, especially in China. Now a sizable 90-hectare property, its vineyards are dedicated to Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and a small amount of Petit Verdot growth. More recently, they have heavily invested into the renovation of their wine making facilities, cellars, and visitor center. Today the beautiful winery, designed by Arnaud Boulain and Atelier BPM stands with glass walls allowing guests to fully partake in the winemaking process.
