1982 Chateau Beychevelle - 750ml
SKU:
N/A
The 1982 Château Beychevelle is a classic example of a top-tier Bordeaux from the Saint-Julien appellation, celebrated for its elegance and complexity. The 1982 vintage was a milestone year for Bordeaux, marking a shift towards wines that were more fruit-forward and approachable, thanks to the warmer growing season and ideal ripening conditions.
Tasting Notes:
- Aroma: The wine opens with a refined bouquet of blackcurrant (cassis), dark cherries, and subtle notes of cedarwood and cigar box. As it ages, it reveals deeper, earthy undertones, including hints of leather and tobacco, which contribute to its layered complexity.
- Palate: Full-bodied with a smooth, velvety texture. The 1982 Beychevelle is well-balanced, with ripe, soft tannins and refreshing acidity. The dark fruit flavors are complemented by a fine touch of oak and a gentle, lingering finish.
- Aging Potential: This wine has aged beautifully and remains vibrant, though it will continue to evolve and can be cellared for many more years. It is considered to be drinking at or near its peak but could offer further complexity with time.
Food Pairing:
It pairs excellently with grilled meats, such as lamb or steak, as well as with rich, savory dishes like duck or venison.
This wine is often regarded as one of the finest examples of the 1982 Bordeaux vintage and is a must-try for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
