As tenant farmers, the Bernards profited from the social upheavals of the French Revolution, buying their first vineyard soon after the momentous event in 1794. This vineyard is still part of Château Beauchêne but today the property extends to 70 hectares, including vineyards representing three appellations, Châteauneuf du Pape, Côtes du Rhône Villages and Côtes du Rhône. All wines, however, are vinified and matured in Château Beauchêne. Michel Bernard remains in charge of winemaking, working with his wife Dominique Vergniaud and their daughter Amandine Bernard, to create and market their array of impressive wines including Le Terroir. Bernard believes that ‘the character of a vineyard results as much from the history of its terroir as from the personality of the winemakers who fashion it’. He is careful to minimise the use of pesticides saying that a vineyard must be allowed express itself without being forced. ‘Balance between the characteristics of the soil and the capacity of the grape variety, is the only way to preserve the true wealth of a vineyard through generations.’ \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/whelehanswines.ie\/blogs\/wineries\/chateau-beauchene\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/whelehanswines.ie\/blogs\/wineries\/chateau-beauchene\"\u003eRead More\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/whelehanswines.ie\/blogs\/wineries\/chateau-beauchene\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/whelehanswines.ie\/blogs\/wineries\/chateau-beauchene\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVIEW MORE WINES FROM CHATEAU BEAUCHENE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Château Beauchêne","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39682150498435,"sku":"112144","price":45.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/6859\/9683\/files\/Beauchene-chateauneuf-du-pape-Hommage-France-Wine-Whelehans-Wines.jpg?v=1706098977"},{"product_id":"pauillac-de-latour","title":"Château Latour Le Pauillac de Latour, 2017","description":"\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePowerful, superb offering from iconic Bordeaux estate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFruity, fleshy, powerful and intense and that’s just the aromatics.

Care and attention to detail are paramount. Generous fruit and well-integrated oak, both American and French, give their wines an appealing and distinctive character.

In 1835 he bought land in Co Kildare upon which he built Straffan House (now the K Club), which would serve as the family home for the following generations and in which Anthony Barton, the current owner of the vineyards in Bordeaux, was born in 1930.

The estate, by then 200 hectares, was divided in 1840 upon the death of Alexandre de Gasq and his son Pierre inherited a share which became Ch. Léoville Las Cases and his daughter Jeanne’s and it eventually became called Leoville Poyferre. Today the estate has been owned by the Cuvelier family since 1920 and is currently managed by Sara Lecompte Cuvelier. She took over from her uncle Didier in 2017 when he retired. Under his stewardship since 1979 the vineyards and winery were radically modernised under the guidance of legendary consultant Émile Peynaud and later Michelle Rolland. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVineyards were replanted and expanded as unused land was planted and the winery was revamped with temperature controlled stainless steel vats of various sizes.

Our viticultural philosophy and practices, firmly based on respect for the environment, ensure a naturally-balanced low-yield per vine, in vineyards averaging 25 years old. The clusters are hand-harvested, with a rigorous quality-selection in the vineyard. Fermentation is in open-top oak vats, and the wine is given regular, gentle manual punch-downs, making possible lengthy macerations and slow extraction of totally ripe, fine tannins.

In taste, it delivers a satisfying and harmonious blend, characterised by its freshness, fruitiness, and mineral qualities, all underpinned by a dense and silky tannic framework. The synergy between taste and smell is striking, with Nipozzano consistently captivating with its exceptional charm that caters to a broad and varied demographic.

There, after destemming, spontaneous fermentation occurred in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Following this phase, the wine remained in the vats to complete the maceration process. After the wine was drawn off, malolactic fermentation took place, also conducted in stainless steel. At the end of the year, the wine was transferred to barriques, where it aged for the following months. An additional period of bottle aging allowed the Nipozzano 2020 to fully express itself, resulting in a wine of exceptional expressive balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Nipozzano","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47794939560280,"sku":"113444","price":30.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/6859\/9683\/files\/marchesi-frescobaldi-castello-di-nipozzano-2020-whelehans-wines-ireland.jpg?v=1709731212"},{"product_id":"domaine-de-font-sane-gigondas-rhone-red-wine-ireland","title":"Domaine de Font-Sane Tradition Gigondas, 2022","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJuicy fruit, firm tannins, black pepper\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“A juicy fruit-packed nose – summer pudding, thyme and garrigue.
