Benjamin Darnault Saint Chinian Organic 2012
About the wine
- Super-concentrated, savoury and oh so refined. May we present to you the definition of more bang for your buck.
- This may cost a little more than Benjamin's other wines, but boy oh boy is it worth it! Big, beautifully balanced and VERY drinkable.
- We could go on until we're blue in the face about this man's talent, and Jancis Robinson (fancy wine critic) agrees. If you're still reading this, stop, and add it to your basket now - you won't be disappointed.

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.
