History<\/h2>\n\n

The history of Ch\u00e2teau Beychevelle is rich and closely linked to that of the region. The name “Beychevelle” comes from “Baisse-Voile,” a reference to the obligation for boats sailing on the Garonne to lower their sails as a sign of respect in front of the property of the Duke of \u00c9pernon, governor of Guyenne in the 17th century.<\/p>\n\n

\n

This legend marked the identity of the estate, and its image is still present on the label of the bottles.<\/p>\n\n\n

The property<\/h2>\n\n

The Ch\u00e2teau Beychevelle estate covers approximately 250 hectares, including 90 hectares of vineyards. The grape varieties are traditional for Bordeaux, dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The vineyard, with an average age of 30 years, reaches an ideal maturity for producing exceptional grapes.<\/p>\n\n

\n

With its brand-new winery, Ch\u00e2teau Beychevelle combines innovation and tradition, demonstrating its haute couture expertise. This new winery allows for plot-by-plot vinification, meaning each plot of vines is vinified separately. This approach allows for maximum respect for the specific characteristics of each terroir, and thus produces wines that are as faithful as possible to their origins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
