Château Beychevelle 1975 – Jeroboam
At the heart of the Saint-Julien appellation, on the left bank of the Médoc, Château Beychevelle holds a unique place among the grands crus classés. Nicknamed the Versailles of the Médoc for the elegance of its architecture and gardens, the estate benefits from an exceptional terroir of deep gravel, producing wines renowned for their balance, silkiness, and longevity. Heir to a long winemaking tradition, Beychevelle has always combined power with refinement, embodying the most noble style of Saint-Julien.
The 1975 vintage marks a legendary milestone in the château’s history. Following a hot, dry summer, the harvest yielded concentrated grapes, rich in tannins and endowed with outstanding structure. While the vintage was generally austere in the Médoc, Beychevelle achieved one of its greatest successes, delivering a wine of remarkable depth, destined for decades of ageing. Even today, this vintage demonstrates the estate’s ability to transcend challenging years and produce wines of timeless elegance.
Presented in the extremely rare Jeroboam format – almost impossible to find on the market – this bottle is a true collector’s item. Robert Parker praised the quality of Beychevelle 1975, highlighting its intensity, aromatic complexity, and its admirable ageing capacity. Beneath its evolved robe lies a seductive array of tertiary notes: fine leather, undergrowth, blond tobacco, and lingering fruit, supported by a solid and harmonious structure. A mythical wine in an exceptional format, it represents a unique landmark in the history of Beychevelle and a rare opportunity for enthusiasts and collectors.
Grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon (57%), Merlot (40%), Petit Verdot (3%)
