At the end of the 1960's, the Sichel family firmly established itself in the southern part of the Cotes de Bordeaux area, by setting up the Bel Air cellar in the village of Saint-Maixant. At the time, it became the first Bordeaux wine merchant to possess its own winemaking cellar. Unceasingly striving to improve procedures, infrastructures and wines made in its cellar, the Sichel Family stepped up its presence near Langon by purchasing in 2002, Chateau Argadens (40 hectares), In Saint Andre du Bois. At the start of 2020, the Sichel Family took control of Chateau DAVIAUD, a property it knew well. In fact, part of the estate figured among the 'providers' for the Bel Air cellar. Since the Chateau had been put up for sale, there was considerable risk of losing a partner of good quality. By buying the entire vineyard and its infrastructures, the Sichel Family consolidated its production hub and added a new property to its range.
