About Domaine Peter Sichel
It all began more than 30 years ago, in the valley of Cucugnan, a meeting on this atypical land with a Mediterranean high-altitude climate, slightly influenced by the Atlantic. From this meeting, the grand project of a vineyard nourished by the breathtaking landscapes of the valley would be born.
The magic of the Corbières had thus worked between Peter Sichel and this magnificent terroir...
2019 will be the year of change, the year of returning to the roots. Alexander Sichel, grandson of Peter Sichel, decides to take over the vineyard and give it a bright future with exceptional wines. Sharing the same love for the valley of Cucugnan and its viticultural potential as his grandfather, he wishes to pay tribute to him by renaming the estate "Domaine Peter Sichel."
The size of the vineyard is then studied and reduced by 50%, carefully preserving the best vine plots: a new terroir wine is offered, declared IGP Pays de Cucugnan, with the goal of reaching a very high and premium level of quality.
In addition to the reduction in vineyard size, the desire to evolve with the times and to affirm the environmental values of the estate led to its conversion to organic and biodynamic farming in the same year.
Starting in 2019, the entire vision of the estate is rethought, even though the attraction for this land remains unchanged despite the years...
