Although Benoît grew up in the Northern Rhône and his family has a history of grape growing in other parts of Europe, he has literally created his domaine from the ground up. From converting a sheep shelter into a cellar, to planting vineyards at the Coteau de Tupin in Côte-Rôtie and around his family's home in Pélussin, Benoît is truly building every piece of his domaine. All of these vineyards are worked either biodynamically or organically, and many are in process of certification. The grapes are foot-trodden, fermentation occurs with native yeast in neutral vessels (either stainless steel or resin tanks), the wines are pressed off using an old basket press, and are raised in old 600L demi-muid barrels. The wines are traditional in style and echo the great Northern Rhône wines of the past.

Benoît's Syrah de Rosette pours a deep, opaque purple color. The nose is intense and complex, featuring aromas of blackberry, purple fruits, herbs and a salty sea-spray. On the palate, this Syrah is rich and full bodied with fine-grained tannins and a savory, salty mineral edge to balance the blueberry and blackberry fruit flavors. The finish is long and mineral driven and lifted by a moderate acidity. Enjoy with char-grilled beef, pork or chicken.
