The men of Beychevelle have always reigned over their lands, ensuring that the castle has all its prestige.
Since its construction in 1565 by Bishop François de Foix-Candale, then the reign of the Dukes of Epernon (of which the great admiral Jean-Louis Nogaret de la Valette was the first), its reconstruction in 1757 by the Marquis de Brassier, its expansion by the Heine family, then the dynasty of the Achille-Fould family until 1986, the castle never ceases to amaze its visitors, both with its vineyards and its living spaces .
The reputation of Beychevelle and its embellishment would not be such of course without the help of exceptional women like Marie-Amélie Kohn, Madame Guestier, Madame Heine, Marie-Louise Fould and even Lillette (Elisabeth de Foucaud) who have marked its history , its style, its decoration, its sense of welcome and its magnificent gardens.
Today, Château Beychevelle belongs to Grands Millésimes de France owned by the Castel and Suntory groups, represented by Mr. Nobuhiro TORII.
