Cellier Saint Benoit - Benjamin Benoit
The Cellier Saint Benoit is the alchemy of 4 generations. During the first years, the activity was based on polyculture, the harvest was sold to the wine cooperative of Pupillin.
It was Denis Benoit, 3rd generation, who took the decision to focus 100% of his work in the vineyard and to integrate the work of the cellar. In 2003, he created the Cellier Saint Benoit and moved into the old family farmhouse.
Today, the succession is ensured by Benjamin Benoit. After studying viticulture in Beaune and experiences in Burgundy and New Zealand, he wanted to bring his touch to the work of his fathers.
“I wish today to continue the work accomplished by the older generations, by bringing the knowledge that I have acquired during my various experiences” Benjamin Benoit
In order to fight against the erosion of the hillsides, I work the soil and I use small, light and tracked equipment. This makes it possible to preserve a living environment, guaranteeing a wine that best expresses the terroirs.
