Producer Profile

Chateau Beychevelle

You know you have passed out of the hinterland between Margaux and Saint Julien when you see the graceful lines of Chateau Beychevelle hugging a curve of the D2 road. The name comes from a salute to former owner Duke of Epernon, Jean-Louis Nogaret de la Valette, Grand Admiral of France. When ships passed in front of the chateau, they would lower their sails in his honour – and over time Chateau Basse Voile (meaning lower the sails in French), became Beychevelle.

More recently, Beychevelle has been in the news because French wine company Castel took a 50% stake back in February 2011, joining Japanese drink giants Suntory, who have the other 50% (together they also own Chateau Beaumont and wine merchants Barriere Frere through their company Grand Millesimes de France). The vineyard covers 77 hectares in AOC Saint Julien, and has a further 13 hectares in AOC Haut-Medoc. Production is split between Beychevelle, second wine Amiral de Beychevelle and Les Brulieres de Beychevelle (Haut-Medoc).

The cellars are truly impressive here, sunken and opening directly onto the river. The chateau’s emblem, a griffin figurehead on a boat, with a lowered sail, is sculpted in bronze in the estate’s gardens. More recently, of course, this has been interpreted as a dragon boat in the Chinese market, doing nothing to harm its popularity.

Philippe Blanc is director at Beychevelle, with Aymar de Baillenx overseeing as director of Grands Millesimes de France, and together they follow a strict green  policy in the vineyard – Beychevelle is accredited Terra Vitis, ensuring careful sustainable viticulture, with waste management and recycling, minial use of herbicides, planting of hedgerows to ensure biodiversity and recycling or efficient disposal of all effluents. In the cellars, the wine spends 18 months in oak, with around 50% new each year.

Production 40,000-50,000 cases. Plantings in vineyard 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot.
