Château Beychevelle, Historic winery in Saint-Julien-Beychevelle, France.
Château Beychevelle is a winery in the Médoc region and covers extensive grounds planted with vineyards of different grape varieties. The property combines historic buildings with modern production facilities where grapes are processed and wine is aged.
The castle was founded in the 16th century by a bishop and marked the start of wine production at the site. Over the centuries it grew into a recognized winery that has kept its reputation to this day.
The name Beychevelle comes from an old gesture where passing sailors would lower their sails to show respect to the local lord. This custom shaped how the place saw itself for centuries.
The grounds are accessed via country roads through the vineyards, so wear suitable footwear for walking outdoors. It is wise to check ahead whether visits are possible and what may be required to enter the property.
Parts of the winery use farming methods closer to nature and hold certifications for environmental responsibility. This reflects an effort to blend traditional wine making with modern ecological awareness.
