Dating back to the 1980's, Grand Bateau is the fruit of the collaboration between Maison Barrière and Chateau Beychevelle, their sister company. The boat which decorates this label is the mythical galleon of the famous Château Beychevelle which took part and sponsored the conception and creation of Grand Bateau. Today, Philippe Blanc, Château Beychevelle's winemaker, provides them with the ultimate technical guidance in their famed assemblage of these wines. Elaborated by their oenologist starting with a selection of the best wines from their partner estates, Grand Bateau incarnates the complexity of great Bordeaux. Stylistically impeccable, consistent and unique, Grand Bateau is crafted to satisfy both new wine drinkers and experienced palates alike.
