Tasting notes
Philippe Blanc, the most sanguine winemaker in the Médoc, forewarned that the 1974 Beychevelle was not very good. In fact, when the bottle was found to be corked, his relief was palpable.

Beychevelle made a good showing in 1974, producing a supple, easygoing, fruity, gentle wine that is now fully mature. Anticipated maturity: Now-probably in serious decline. Last tasted, 3/79.

About the producer

With greater care in the vineyard and more precision in the winery, Ch. Beychevelle's star is rising. That's in large part due to the leadership of Philippe Blanc and investment by current owners, Japanese brewers Suntory and French wine group Castel.
