Take the stress out of buying a gift, let them choose exactly what they want.
This is a brilliant Beychevlle that charts the right balance between flamboyant and focus. There is a fleshy and modern character with plenty of charm. A bright line of freshness and salinity underpins the rich cassis fruit, with hints of tobacco, iris, and cocoa on the finish.

The 2025 Beychevelle was picked from September 5 to 21 at 31 hl/ha, fairly reasonable for Saint-Julien this year, albeit the second lowest after 2013. Matured in 70% new oak, this has a concentrated nose with blackcurrants, blueberry, inkwell and light violet scents. Very fine definition, a Beychevelle that leans on the more opulent side aromatically, though always controlled. The palate is medium-bodied with a velvety smooth entry that lends it sensuality. Extremely precise, exquisite pure fruit, quite mineral-driven with a very long, quite sensual finish. I don't think Philippe Blanc has overseen a Beychevelle as good as this. 13.4% alcohol.
A very sexy wine. Plush and exuberant; blackberry, lavender, mocha, crème de cassis and a kick of French oak are amplified. 43% Merlot provides plush richness. More than anything else, the 2025 is a wine of extreme pleasure. One of the finest in recent memory.
