Benjamin Darnault Minervois Plus 2014
About the wine
Ben has stepped his Minervois up a notch...
- I had the opportunity to purchase some top quality Syrah wine from the cooperative of Minervois, so I decided to create something extra special for my Angels.
- Because, in a world, where everyone wants to give you less, I dreamt to offer you more. More fruit, more sun, more pleasure!
- This wine is a step up from my classic Minervois that Angels have been enjoying for the last 5 years - I hope you enjoy it!

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Benjamin Darnault
- When Ben left a safe winemaking job in Australia to move back to France with his young family in the noughties, at first he really struggled. The financial crash of 2007/08 clobbered the winery he was working at, so they had to let him go. He couldn’t catch a break.
- That was until Angels freed Ben from the corporate fat cats and transformed his livelihood. Thanks to Angels, Ben was finally able to set up on his own and realise his lifelong dream of putting his own name on the label. Even better, he had an advance on his next vintage!
- With Angel support, Ben has been able to invest more, source even better fruit and establish strong relationships with local growers to improve the quality of his delicious wines year-on-year. With thousands of rave reviews, he’s a bonafide Naked icon.
