Tasting cellar, Producer

à Épargnes

Domaine Poncereau de Haut – Famille Benassy

Family estate and passionate independent winegrowers, producers of IGP Charentais wines.
Direct sales, tasting and wine tourism.

In the family for 3 generations, the Estate was passed on to us by our father in 2017. A pioneer in the creation of Vins Charentais, he shared with us his passion for wine and vines. We continue the adventure with the same desire: to vinify wines for pleasure and sharing.

The passion that drives us is rooted in our taste for winegrowers' work, in respect for nature and the cultivation of the vine throughout the seasons.
As independent winemakers, we are committed to mastering the entire wine cycle, from the vine to distribution, including the cellar and winemaking. This allows us to take the necessary care in the production of our vintages.
Direct selling is obvious to us and a pleasure that allows us to exchange.

Guided tours by appointment: let yourself be guided by the winegrower through the grape varieties, the seasons and the work in the vineyard. Discover our cellar, follow the transformation of the grapes and taste the fruit of our labor…

New in July 2026: The Grape Variety Trail: A self-guided walk to discover our grape varieties and their stories.
