About the Wine Maker MATTHIEU FINOT - Wine Maker

Matthieu Finot
Matthieu was introduced to the life of a wine-maker as soon as he was born. He grew up on the family farm and was surrounded by the viticulture of the northern Rhone Valley, Crozes Hermitage. After high school, he went to Beaune, in the heart of Burgandy to study viticulture and oenology. He received his degree and practiced his trade in various French regions: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Provence, Jura, and the Rhone Valley. His strong interest in learning led him to explore wine-making around the world: Italy, South Africa, and then Virginia in 2003. He is now working as a wine-making consultant for a number of Virginia wineries and is also teaching classes in his trade. We are so happy to have him here and look forward to sharing his wines with you.

DAMIEN BLANCHON - Cellar Manager

Damien Blanchon
Damien comes to join us as Cellar Manager from Perpignan, France. (Southern France 10 miles east of the Mediterranean Coast, close to Spain.) He comes from a family of grape growers and helped with his grandfathers's vineyard prior to receiving his degree in viticulture and enology at the College of Agriculture LEGTA Charlemagne in Carcassowne. After school he worked at a nearby estate in their vineyard and cellar. He then made the decision to come to the USA and learn different ways to grow grapes and make wines. He is now interning here with our wine maker Matthieu Finot.
