About the estate:

In the 1970s, Peter Sichel founded an estate in Cucugnan out of love for the place. The vines are planted in a steep-sided valley, between 300 and 500 meters above sea level, cooled by a coulis wind. The grapes were sold to négociants until Alexander, his grandson, took over the estate in 2018. Alexander had been selling fine wines to Americans before falling in love with this forgotten family estate, of which he now retains only 13 hectares on the southern slopes of the valley and in the commune of Rouffiac, at an altitude of 500 meters. He has created a collection of modern, precise wines, certified organic since 2022 and set to carry the Biodyvin label from 2025. We love the complex and elegant Roussanne Vieilles Vignes and the reds, which reveal the quality of the terroir and the winemaker's talent.
