Wine Spectator: Beaulieu Vineyard Begins Ambitious Renovation At Historic Napa Winery

Few Napa wineries have the history of Beaulieu Vineyard. In 1900, Georges de Latour founded the winery when he purchased a four-acre vineyard in Rutherford. His wife Fernande commented “Quelle beau lieu” upon first seeing the land, meaning “what a beautiful place.” Over the next two decades, Latour acquired land holdings throughout Napa Valley, including the 1923 purchase of the Fred Ewer Winery in Rutherford, which is still the site of the BV winery today. Built in 1885, the old stone building has been producing BV wines for more than 100 years, and has been home to revered winemakers like André Tchelistcheff.

Treasury Wine Estates (TWE) executives announced this week that the company will begin a multimillion-dollar property renovation at BV’s historic building, with numerous changes to the original structure. TWE acquired the winery in 2016. Wine Spectator has the full story.
