OCHA 2024

Inspired by his infused wines from the Cucugnan Moun- tains, Alexander Sichel now crafts an exclusive cuvée in Bordeaux.

This time, OCHA is born in the heart of a 1.5-hectare garden, nestled on the limestone hills of Saint-André-du-Bois near Bordeaux.

Produced by Maison Sichel

Ever since it was set up as a buying office in Bordeaux in 1883, Maison Sichel has remained, first and foremost, a family business .
Since that time, seven generations of the Sichel family have succeeded one another at the company’s helm. Today the family own significant vineyards in Bordeaux, including Chateau Angludet and Chateau Palmer. The company has undergone dramatic transformation over the past 50 years, with the purchase of a winemaking facility, construction of a bottling plant, acquisition of two estates as well as a négociant vinificateur.

Tasting Notes

A nod to Japanese tea, the name OCHA, evokes purity, infusion, and finesse - a fitting identity for a wine that seeks neither extraction nor power.
Far from rejecting the traditions of Bordeaux wine, this cuvée reveals a different style, one that is more infused and delicate.
Produced in very limited quantities, OCHA offers a fresh perspective on the Bordeaux terroir - subtle, elegant, and unexpected.
