Chateau Beychevelle St. Julien
$102.99
”the campaign 2011-2012 has not been an easy growing season in the vineyard. The first part of it quite fresh generated conditions of imperfect flowering and setting. The summer was beautiful sunny very dry and temperatures were close to normal. However the severe drought slowed down the maturation which then presented various stages of achievement. In spite of imperfect harvest conditions bunches remained healthy and grapes in vats were very sound thanks to a great care and sorting out in the vineyard and at reception of the crop. It is great satisfaction to have been able to maintain this quality by choosing vineyard options with very moderate protection including in 2012 a significant part of organic management. Merlots have a beautiful fruit pure and clean judged better than in 2011. Cabernets are fine with a nice fruit and the tannins are elegant but less powerful than in some previous vintages. The 2012 vintage of chateau beychevelle is elegant and fruity wit
