Château Beychevelle
Built in magnificent 18th century Louis XV style, Château Beychevelle sits in the St. Julien district of the Médoc, with neighbors including Château Gloria and Château St. Pierre. The name Beychevelle was derived from the expression "Baisse-Vaille" meaning "lower sails". This act was a symbol of respect by the French Navy to the Duc d'Eperon, who was Admiral of France at the time and 16th century owner of the estate. The château is a 4ème Cru Classé, and produces a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. At its best, the wine is known for its rich, concentrated fruit that ages with ease. In addition to its flagship wine, the estate also makes a second label called Amiral de Beychevelle and an AC Haut Médoc production called Brulières de Beychevelles.
