APPELLATION

The parish of Saint-Julien dates back to the 7th century. Originally named Saint-Julien-de-Reignac, the town became known as Saint-Julien-Beychevelle in the early 20th century, combining the name of the small port and that of the hamlet famous for its fine wines.
Starting in the 17th century, aristocrats and other land owners made the most of the winegrowing potential of their outstanding terroir. They were responsible for creating the great estates included in the 1855 classification.
