“Dragon boat wine – 龙船“
At the heart of Beychevelle’s identity, was Duke of Epernon. This great French admiral had the reputation that as boats passed the front of his estate, they would lower their sails to show allegiance. This in turn gave rise to the chateau’s emblem – A ship with a griffon shaped prow. Its name in Gascon – “baisse voile“ means to lower the sails, which later grew into Beychevelle.
