On the banks of the Thau basin in the Languedoc, on Jurassic limestone, Julie Benau gets the best of the pedestal grape variety in Picpoul-de-Pinet PDO.
Besides the classic vintages of domaine de Creyssels, Julie produces under her name some wines (in Vin de France) without added sulphites: "Chichois à la baraquette" (white prick, "Robot Cochon" (tempranillo), "Libero" (rare and original white prickly with the most original breeding)...
Henri and Josiane Benau bought the estate in 1982. The estate was then abandoned, and the old stone constantly requires investment. Thus, the winemaking business had to be completed.
In 2000, Julie, their daughter, decided to take over the field as a whole. After studying at the Faculty of History in Montpellier, she realized that her future would be in Creyssels. After a few internships in the Northern Rhone Valley at the Domaine des Entrefaux, and in Languedoc at Mas Jullien, it is the return to the family estate, the estate where she grew up, the reassuring environment in which she was built.
Alongside her father, Henri, she learned for a few years to tame her land. Initially, one hectare of picnic was planted at the estate and no marketing in bottles was made. There were a total of 10 hectares of vines. A few years later, the estate has expanded and diversified to date to 18.5 hectares.
The Domain now features picket (6,80ha), viognier, marsanne, and roussanne for whites. For reds and rosés, the grape varieties are cinsault, syrah, carignan, merlot, cabernet-sauvignon and tempranillo
Various vintages are made at the estate, from the traditional to the most original, through the rare and original cuvée "Libero".
