Originally from Champagne, Alexis de Benoist settled in 2010 as an artisan winemaker in the family property to reinstate the culture of the vine, interrupted for a century, and reconnect with its history. Since then, the family has regained its title of winemaker.
Today, he cultivates 9,5 hectares of vines spread over two wine regions: Mâconnais and Beaujolais.
The intention is to harmonize the grape variety and its terroir to obtain wines with character.
