Imagine the château at the beginning of the 17th century…
The first Duke of Épernon has just become its owner.
The reputation of this great French admiral was such that as boats passed in front of his estate, they would lower their sails to show their allegiance.
This deep mark of respect gave rise to the château’s emblem, a ship with a griffon-shaped prow.
Its name in Gascon, Bêcha vêla, meaning “baisse voile” (“lower the sails”), later became Beychevelle.
The second Duke of Epernon further added to the legend of Beychevelle…
A great patron of the arts, he invited a troupe of actors to stay and perform at the château.
Among them was the young Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, otherwise known as Molière.
Ever since it was first produced, Château Beychevelle has reflected the elegance and finesse of Saint Julien’s finest vineyards.
Graceful and complex, with a tremendous aromatic richness, Château Beychevelle undergoes a rigorous selection process.
It reveals its character after about ten years, and can be kept for several decades, depending on the vintage.
