2009 Château Beychevelle, St Julien, Bordeaux nuits-saint-georges 18 months in medium-sized barrelsChteau Beychevelles 2009 has a beautiful nose of ripe bramble fruit, dark cassis, and a smooth but highly concentrated palate of red and black fruits. The Merlot content (44%) is surprisingly well balanced here, considering the turbo charged nature of some of the Right Bank wines. Beychevelle have blended it perfectly with their 46% Cabernet Sauvignon and a touch of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot to make a truly harmonious wine. Berry Bros. & Rudd
