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.

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.
