Benoit farms four hectares spread out over eight parcels around the village of Ville-sur-Jarnioux in southern Beaujolais. The vineyards are predominantly limestone, with some clay, granite and marl as well. Benoit lives along side his vines in a caravan hidden away in one of the parcels he has named  Chateau Roulant. 3.5 Ha are planted with old Gamay vines and the rest is Chardonnay.

 

Benoit's first harvest was in 2006, though he has been hard at work in other vineyards  since his a youth. The vines are managed only by him, where he works everything by hand. in the cellar he keeps everything very  simple with fermentation and élevage taking place in concrete and cuve and nothing or taken away added at any stage.

Benoit's goal is to keep his wines as simple as possible in hopes that they may be enjoyed by all.
