Tasting notes
This is an estate where the 1991 has outperformed the 1992. The 1991 offers an attractive, curranty, sweet, oaky nose, soft, round, elegant flavors, admirable ripeness, low acidity, and a plush finish. Although not a big wine, it is graceful, fruity, and tasty. Drink it over the next 5-6 years.

A well-made, sexy wine that delivers lovely aromas of violet, smoke and blackberry. Stands out among the 1991s with its silky texture and good intensity. James Suckling,Wine Spectator 1994.

About the producer
With greater care in the vineyard and more precision in the winery, Ch. Beychevelle's star is rising. That's in large part due to the leadership of Philippe Blanc and investment by current owners, Japanese brewers Suntory and French wine group Castel.
