About the estate:
In the 1970s, Peter Sichel founded a winery in Cucugnan out of a love for the place. The vines are planted in a steep-sided valley, at an elevation of 300 to 500 meters, cooled by a cool breeze. The grapes were sold to wine merchants before Alexander, his grandson, took over the estate in 2018. Alexander had previously sold grand cru wines to American buyers before falling in love with this forgotten family estate, of which he 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 wines with a modern and precise style, certified organic since 2022 and expected to bear the Biodyvin label starting in 2025. We’re particularly fond of the complex and elegant Roussanne Vieilles Vignes, as well as the reds, which showcase the quality of the terroir and the winemaker’s talent.
