Jean-Claude Benassy takes his parents’ vines over and starts to make wine while the entire region is dedicated to Pineau des Charentes and Cognac. As a pioneer, he contributes to the creation of the “Vins Charentais” appellation. Passionate about wine, he opts for direct selling to share his passion with his visitors.

Nowadays

Ophélie and Florian Benassy have inherited from their father his passion for vines and his nectar, wine. Since 2017, they continue the adventure Jean-Claude has started and become a new generation of vignerons indépendants.
