Benoit is Cecile Tremblay's neighbour in this plot
Gorgeous deep robe with a ruby to red colour. An intoxicating blend of fresh red fruit and blueberry aromas on the nose. From the first sip you can see the quality as the balance is omnipresent, between the freshness of fruit and its generous texture, between the super fine tannins and the intoxicatingly deep aromas. Brilliant already and also a superb bottle for the cellar, in 10 years all the magic will be there!

Benoit is the 4th generation of Chevallier vignerons in Vosne-Romanée.  His father, Maurice – former mayor of Vosne-Romanée, who had owned and tended 4 hectares since 1971.  When Maurice retired in 2008, 90% of the family vineyards were rented out, Benoit managed the remaining 10% while simultaneously pursuing a promising career as an IT engineer at a local company. For 10 years tiny quantities came from 3 vineyards.

In 2018, Benoit decided the time was ripe to return to Vosne-Romanée to become a full time vigneron and take over the entire Domaine.  He recognized the need to be mindful of nature and immediately put his existing portion (10%) of the vineyards into organic conversion. Fortunately, the other 90% of the vines had been rented out to a local vigneron with outstanding experience of organic viticulture. They had been certified organic since 2012 and were in excellent health.
