Amiral de Beychevelle 2022

The 2022 vintage presents a striking, deep ruby colour with subtle purple reflections. The highly aromatic nose is resplendent with notes of red cassis, black cherry, and blackberries, layered with spring flowers, violet, and graphite. On the palate, the wine is medium to full bodied and supple, offering a polished texture with flavours of sweet currants, ripe plums, and a judicious touch of chocolate and cocoa. The structure is defined by noble, velvety tannins and an astonishing freshness that provides a vibrant energy leading into a long, persistent finish. The varietal composition for this vintage is approximately 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot. It has an ABV of 13.5% or 14% depending on the specific lot and is produced using sustainable viticulture practices.
