Over the centuries, ownership of the château changed hands several times. In 1755, the estate was acquired by the Famille-François de Fumel family, who played a major role in the development and renown of the château. Under their management, the château and its vineyards were extended and improved, and the quality of the wines produced was considerably enhanced. In 1826, the château was sold to the Achille-Fould family, who held it until 1868, when it was bought by a consortium of Bordeaux wine merchants led by the Castéja family. The Castéja family still own the château today. Over the last few decades, Château Beychevelle has invested heavily in modernising its winemaking and ageing facilities, while preserving the traditional methods of Bordeaux wine production.

Today, Château Beychevelle is recognised worldwide for the quality of its wines. It is classified as a Fourth Growth in the official 1855 classification of Bordeaux wines. Château Beychevelle wines are renowned for their elegance, balance and ability to age well.
