Producer Information
Château Beychevelle is a well-regarded wine estate based in the Saint-Julien appellation of Bordeaux’s northern Haut-Médoc wine region, on the left bank of the Gironde estuary.. The estate’s flagship, Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant, wine is known for its supple power and smooth, rich texture, and better vintages have great aging ability. In the Bordeaux Classification of 1855 it was ranked a fourth growth. The 250-hectare (620-acre) estate is situated in the extreme southeast of the Saint-Julien appellation, just outside the small commune of Beychevelle. The château building lies just east of Branaire-Ducru and south of Ducru-Beaucaillou. The name Beychevelle comes from the first Duke of Epernon, a navy admiral who owned the estate in the 16th Century. Boats that passed on the Garonne had to lower their sails in deference and the term “Baisse-Voile” (lowering of sails) became Beychevelle. This nautical theme extends to the ship with a griffin prow featured on the label.
