波爾多頂級酒莊Château Beychevelle是擁有超過三個世紀的著名酒莊，因為酒標上的帆船圖案而被華人圈暱稱為「龍船堡」。在法國國王亨利三世在位時，Beychevelle莊園是歷任艾伯儂公爵(Dukes of Epernon)的產業，特別是首位艾伯儂公爵Jean-Louis Nogaret de la Valette (1554-1642)，他曾經身兼海軍上將以及波爾多所在的Guyenne行省的總督，因此在當時從這個城堡前航行過的船隻都要降下船帆向他敬禮，從法文的「降下船帆(Baisse-Voile)」衍生成本酒莊的名稱Beychevelle。
本酒莊在進入21世紀之後，本酒莊頗有奮起之勢，除了屢屢獲得酒評家們的高分評價之外，在亞洲市場也大受歡迎；Parker評論說新近一些年份的Beychevelle傾向於接近Margaux的細緻風格。
Aged for around 18 months in barrel, 60% new and 40% second fill, the 2018 Beychevelle needs a fair bit of swirling to release classic notes of cassis, plum preserves and ripe blackberries, with emerging suggestions of unsmoked cigars, tilled soil and cedar chest, plus a waft of pencil lead. The medium to full-bodied palate is still very tightly wound, offering finely packed black fruit and earthy layers within a frame of firm, grainy tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long and mineral laced. This will need a good 5-6 years to come around and then will drink beautifully over the next 20+ years.
輕晃杯身後散發出黑醋栗、李子蜜餞和成熟黑莓的經典香氣，伴隨著雪茄和雪松木的味道，再加上一絲鉛筆芯氣息。中等至飽滿的口感非常緊緻，在堅實的單寧和恰到好處的新鮮感中包裹著黑色水果和泥土氣息層次，帶有礦物質的餘韻悠長。
