Originally from Champagne, Alexis de Benoist settled in 2010 as an artisan winemaker on the family property to reinstate the cultivation of vines, interrupted for a century, and reconnect with its history. Since then, the family has regained its title as wine grower.

Today, he cultivates 9.5 hectares of vines spread over two wine-growing regions: Mâconnais and Beaujolais.

The intention is to harmonize the grape variety and its terroir to obtain wines of character. Concerned about preserving the environment and the quality of his wines, Alexis de Benoist has chosen to focus his efforts on the vine, favoring traditional agriculture and cultivation methods linked to observation.

In this 30 to 80 year old vineyard, the harvest is done by hand. The grapes are thus harvested healthy, at maturity and remain intact upon arrival at the vat for vinification in whole clusters.

The choice of traditional vinification and aging aims to preserve the freshness of the fruit, while maintaining structure, in order to produce an expressive, balanced and delicate wine for aging.
