AN AMPLE AND DELICATE WINE

Maison Sichel’s oenologists took over production at Château Daviaud with the 2019 vintage which is the first to be offered under its new package design.

 

« The wine we produce at Château Daviaud, differentiates itself more by its body than by its structure, in order to highlight the softness of fruit, the depth of spices and great fullness on the palate, while retaining a lot of delicacy.»
David Sichel

 

The wine is vat aged for a few months (no oak) and can be enjoyed as soon as it is bottled and over the 5 to 6 years that follow.

The Sichel family, of British origin, settled in Bordeaux in 1883. Over 7 generations, it has developed a marketing network throughout the world while investing significantly upstream in vineyards, wineries and its bottling plant and high security storage facility for fine wines. The wide spectrum of trades brought together within Maison Sichel allows it to develop and select wines according to market specifics and always ongoing changes.

GRAPE VARIETIES OF BORDEAUX WINES FROM YESTERYEAR

Though classic for Bordeaux a century or two ago, the property benefits from what could be considered today as an atypical mix of grape varieties with an interesting proportion of Malbec which makes Château Daviaud special, closer to Côtes-de-Bordeaux wines:

45% Merlot 21% Cabernet Franc 19% Cabernet Sauvignon 15% Malbec

A balance of grape varieties particularly well adjusted to the constraints of current weather conditions: a large percentage of Cabernet Franc and Malbec, reduces the proportion of Merlot.
Malbec produces well-coloured, fragrant and tannic wines, suitable for ageing.

THE LATEST ACQUISITION
BY MAISON SICHEL

At the end of the 1960s, the Sichel Family firmly established itself in the southern part of the Côtes-de-Bordeaux area, by setting up the Bel Air winery in the village of Saint-Maixant.

At that time, it became the first Bordeaux wine merchant to possess its own winemaking cellar. Unceasingly striving to improve procedures, infrastructures and wines made in its cellar, the Sichel Family stepped up its presence near Langon by purchasing, in 2002, Château Argadens (40 hectares), in Saint-André-du-Bois.

At the start of 2020, the Sichel Family took control of Château DAVIAUD, a property it knew well as it was among the historic and original “grape providers” for the Bel Air winery. As the Château was put up for sale, there was a serious risk of losing a partner of such good quality.
