The echinolampas, a fossilised sea urchin present in the limestone soil of Couquèques since the Quaternary period, has become the visual identity of Château Beauvillage.
Here, perfectly ripe fruit is transformed into a unique wine, vintage after vintage…
Every one of our vintages has its own distinctive character that comes from harvesting perfectly ripe grapes and adapting the fermentation to the personality of each vat.
The key to this long process is ageing, which requires our full attention. Twelve months later, the vintage finally reveals its unique character.

The 2018 vintage: Dark in colour, the nose is very intense, nicely smoky. The wine is ambitious with a nice ageing and elegance. A favorite!
The 2015 vintage: Fruity, mineral and well-balanced on the palate, contributing to the overall impression of a fresh, smooth, deliciously elegant wine.
The 2015 Beauvillage has a clean and well-defined bouquet with graphite-tinged black fruit, a dab of blueberry. The palate is medium-bodied with chewy tannin, bright redcurrant and cranberry notes with a nicely structured, classically styled finish that is Médoc through and through. Very fine.
The 2018 vintage: Slightly mocha oaky, nice spices. Wood certainly but well melted. Smooth and dense mouth, velvety tannins, a nice structure
The 2019 vintage: A big red from here with lots of blackberries and blueberries and chocolate undertones. It’s full and flavorful. Solid structure.
The 2016 vintage: This soft, smooth-textured wine benefits from generous tannins and the freshness of the vintage. A well-balanced wine, even when young, with plenty of fruit and good acidity, leading into a crisp aftertaste.

FOOD & WINE MATCHES
Believe it or not, it is possible to serve the same wine throughout a dinner. The roles simply need to be reversed: It is no longer a question of adapting the wine to suit the menu – quite the contrary!
The smoothness and roundness of Château Beauvillage goes beautifully with a melt-in-the-mouth starter, such as panfried foie gras. Barrel ageing, meanwhile, lends the wines toasty oak aromas, perfectly suited to barbecued or grilled rib of beef, while the wine’s powerful tannins are ideal with mature soft cheeses, followed by a very dark chocolate dessert.
