If you want to talk about Château Sipian, you must first start by talking about its history, its family but also its terroir.
Bas Médoc, the north of “Middle Earth”, is the cradle of the Mehaye family. Going back up the family tree to 1839, we quickly realize that Château Sipian was already recognized for its organoleptic qualities as “Bon Bourgeois”. Almost 100 years later it was classified as “Cru Bourgeois” in 1932. It already enjoyed a good reputation.
The commune of Valeyrac was shortly afterwards hit by the Bordeaux wine crisis, which affected the entire region, forcing the 3 estates that made it up to be divided into 13 farms.
This will be a real turning point for Bernard and Nicole Mehaye who acquired 8 hectares of the appellation. Passionate and in love with their land, the Château will continue to expand and evolve.
Frederic Mehaye then continued his parents' work by taking over the reins of the farm in 1989, which at that time covered 22 hectares. He continued to expand it until it exceeded 40 hectares in… it was at this same time that he was joined by Clarisse Mehaye, his daughter, then by Quentin Mehaye, his son, in 2014.
Quentin Mehaye, who is head of communications and marketing, represents the 3rd generation of the Mehaye family and now embodies Château Sipian. Clarisse Mehaye, for her part, follows in the footsteps of Nicole Mehaye, her paternal grandmother, by being the 2nd woman at the head of this Château, who saw her born and grow up.
