WINE DESCRIPTION
Maison Sichel, a family with roots in the UK, dispersed across Europe over time, began its wine legacy in 1856 when Hermann Sichel, aged 65, established a wine trade in Germany. Six generations later, the family, originally wine merchants, evolved into vintners with their own winery, Cave Bel-Air. Expanding steadily, Maison Sichel now includes renowned estates like Château Angludet and Château Palmer. In 2020, they acquired Château Daviaud, a move seen not as a restart but a continuation, mitigating the risk of losing a crucial partner. This Bordeaux estate stands out with its unique blend of Malbec, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon, epitomizing the spirit of the times. The vineyards' limestone slopes, covered in gravel, face southwest along the Garonne River, contributing to wines that balance fruity sweetness and intricate spice—a true reflection of contemporary Bordeaux. With Merlot leading, followed by Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Malbec, Château Daviaud harmoniously combines tradition and adaptability, crafting wines that resonate with the essence of the present.
