Domaine Bénazeth is a family estate in Languedoc-Roussillon, operated by Franck Bénazeth since he took over his grandparents’ property in 1985. The domaine farms its own vineyards and does not purchase grapes, alongside approximately 10 hectares of olive trees. Franck, trained in oenology in Beaujolais, also runs the estate’s restored historic flour mill. Around 70% of production consists of appellation wines, conditioned at the estate, while Vignobles Jeanjean has managed marketing and conditioning for roughly 30 years. No specific sustainability practices or certification are reported.
