| My name is Benjamin Darnault. I live in a small hamlet called Calamiac, which is situated just outside the village of La Liviniere, in the Languedoc region of southern France. I have the strong belief that this little pocket of the Languedoc is a real heaven for producing interesting, exciting, different wines. This is one of the oldest and largest vineyards in the world, where people have been cultivating grapes for wine since the Roman times. Exploring the area, you feel like you’ve stepped back in time and that things have almost been left untouched. As a winemaker it’s an exciting environment as the old bush vines are capable of producing great and authentic ‘old terroir’ wines – and all this can be enjoyed at a very reasonable price. My experiences working all around the world in the wine industry have propelled me back to this magic area with the knowledge I could make remarkable wines for an interesting price. | Currently I am the wine maker for Château Maris in La Livinière and helping with the production at Château de Combobelle in St Chinian. I am also working with on line site Naked Wines as their supplier of wines from the Languedoc region.
