History and anecdotes
Château Beychevelle is a prestigious Cru Classé with a history dating back to the 16th century. Powerful families have resided there, notably the First Duke of Épernon and Grand Admiral of France, Jean-Louis Nogaret de la Valette, who acquired the property under Henry II. According to legend, ships passing in front of his Château had to lower their sails as a sign of allegiance, hence the name Beychevelle: "lower sail." Today, the estate is owned by Grands Millésimes de France (Castel and Suntory groups).
