Description

Beychevelle's identity is based on legend. In the early 17th century, the Chateau became the property of the First Duke of Epernon. Such was his power that ships sailing on the Gironde had to lower their sails to the height of the chateau, as a sign of respect and allegiance to the Duke. It was at this point that the estate acquired its emblem, the ship with the griffin bow, and its Gascon name, became Beychevelle. A superb estate with magnificent gardens, Chateau Beychevelle is one of the most prestigious crus in the Saint-Julien appellation, located on the Left Bank of the Bordeaux region. More radiant than ever, the estate boasts a new, state-of-the-art winery designed by architect Arnaud Boulain. Of the estate's 250 hectares, Chateau Beychevelle looks after 90 hectares of vines with a typical Medoc grape variety: 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot. Beychevelle's unique terroir is due to its magnificent Garonne gravel hilltops and the immediate proximity of the Gironde River, which regulates and protects the climate. An exceptional wine, Chateau Beychevelle's style is defined by the consistency of its top-quality crus. Powerful, fleshy and structured, they elegantly express the finesse of the great Saint-Julien terroir. Built for ageing, Chateau Beychevelle wines evolve superbly over the years.
