Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

Appellation

Saint Julien

Saint-Julien, a revered appellation in Bordeaux's Left Bank, epitomizes the finesse and elegance of red Bordeaux wines. Nestled between Pauillac and Margaux, Saint-Julien boasts a remarkable concentration of classified growths, showcasing wines that marry power with refinement. What makes Saint-Julien unique is its well-balanced terroir—gravelly soils, proximity to the Gironde estuary, and a temperate maritime climate. These factors nurture the cultivation of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, resulting in wines celebrated for their structured tannins, expressive aromatics, and age-worthiness. Saint-Julien's notable châteaux, such as Léoville-Las Cases and Ducru-Beaucaillou, exemplify the region's commitment to quality. The wines exhibit a harmonious blend of dark fruits, cedar, and subtle minerality. Exploring Saint-Julien unveils the essence of Bordeaux winemaking, where tradition and innovation converge to produce wines of timeless allure and sophistication.

Vinous Media

The 2023 Amiral de Beychevelle is a rare Amiral that is Merlot-driven. Crushed flowers, bright red-toned fruit, cedar and sweet pipe tobacco lift from the glass. Fine, silky tannins wrap it all together in style. This is such a classy, polished Saint-Julien. Best of all, the 2023 will drink well right out of the gate.

Wine Advocate

89-91 The 2023 Amiral de Beychevelle is a charming blend of 49% Cabernet Sauvignon and 51% Merlot that bursts with aromas of violets, plums and cassis. Medium to full-bodied, sweet and fleshy, with a layered core of lively fruit, melting tannins and a mouthwatering finish, it will offer a broad drinking window.

Decanter

Rich, fully expressive on the nose with bramble fruit, some toasty notes, quite ripe fruit and perfumed tones. Good acidity to fruit ratio - crisp and juicy red berry fruit with relatively lean and tight but fine tannins which give the frame - nice direction from start to finish. Linear and well defined. Not so deep, but there’s power and a long length. Solid performance. It’s on the lean side, but I like the styling. Ageing 12 months, one third new oak, one third one year barrels, one third two year barrels. 10-12% press wine.

WS 89pts

Wine Spectator

Offers an up-front splash of plum and boysenberry pâte de fruits backed by singed vanilla and apple wood. Fleshy and toasty, with a light savory sparkle for contrast. Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2033. 18,000 cases made.
