The Castle Beauchène dates back to the XVIII century and the family Bernard dates back its history in the area even longer. They started wine making here in 1794. The property from that time belongs to the family today. Michel Bernard took over in 1971 and in 1986 he bought Chateau Beauchene and made it the centre of winemaking from about 80 ha. of vines.

The main production is Cotes du Rhone, but 6 ha. is inside 
the appellation Chateauneuf du Pape.
