Ch Beychevelle

Château Beychevelle, the "Versailles of the Médoc", could only be expected to produce excellent wine. This outstanding 90-hectare vineyard, planted on deep, Garonne-gravel soil, has a winegrowing tradition dating from the Middle Ages. More modern selection, winemaking, and ageing techniques also contribute towards the finished wine's perfection.

The estate then came into the hands of Jean-Baptiste d'Abadie, Baron of Lamarque and Beychevelle and President of the Bordeaux Parliament. He replanted the vineyard after the terrible 1709 frost. His nephew, EtienneFrançois de Brassier, also Baron of Lamarque and Beychevelle and Parliamentary Councillor, inherited the domain in 1717. He is responsible for building the port at Beychevelle.

Château Beychevelle is currently owned by Grands Millésimes de France, a subsidiary of the CASTEL and SUNTORY Groups.

Château Beychevelle is a Saint-Julien Classified Growth, combining elegance with character and finesse with balance. Its lovely, ruby-red colour, fine structure, and subtle bouquet have earned this wine a high reputation all over the world.
