Chateau Beychevelle 4th Growth Saint Julien 2018 750ml

The name Beychevelle originates from “Baisse Voile” or ‘lower the sails’ reflecting this estates history as a former property of Duc d’Eperon, Governor of Guyenne, who was a supremely self-confident & authoritarian man, who asked that boats lower their sails as they pass his Chateau as a mark of respect. Château Beychevelle is located just south of Ducru-Beaucaillou, east of the hamlet of Beychevelle in the southern part of the appellation. The label features a “dragon boat”. The wine is traditional in style with the grand vin matured in 50% new oak.
