Wines of Pedigree and Distinction from the Napa Valley

Situated in beautiful Napa Valley, on the historic Longwood Ranch, Beaucanon Estate reflects the proud history and experience of the de Coninck family of St. Emilion.  Our vineyards provide outstanding grapes that, with the blessings of nature and the knowledgeable hands of an experienced Bordelaise winemaker, become epic and uncommon wines, expressing the intense fruit quality of California along with the balance and elegance of Bordeaux. 

Our Napa history began in 1978, when Jacques de Coninck came from Bordeaux to search for prime vineyards, convinced that the New World held the promise of great wines. With over 260 years of his  family’s wine business experience, he was able to select unique vineyard sites with the perfect soil, aspect and climate. These vineyards have recently been improved with the addition of new Cabernet Sauvignon vines. Clone 337 is the most recent development of Bordeaux types in the valley. Clone 4 is a classic of California, developed from the celebrated B.V. vines. With this pedigree, these vineyards are the envy of viticulturists throughout the valley.

The descendents of Jacques de Coninck are carrying forward the tradition of the family and its winemaking heritage. Louis de Coninck creates our wines with an emphasis on structure, mouth-feel and the luscious flavors of Napa Valley fruit. Like all great winemakers, Louis excels at highlighting the natural characteristics of perfectly ripe fruit, without resorting to popular techniques that emphasize tannins or alcohol. Aging takes place in carefully selected barrels and creating the final blend to produce wines of such intriguing complexity requires an intuitive and delicate touch. The result is concentrated, richly flavored and balanced wines that are pleasant and engaging when young, and only get better with maturity.
