Domaine de la Croix Senaillet

The Mâconnais is a region of Burgundy crossed by history — from its days as a Gallic province noted in the Roman era to the French Revolution — and winemaking. Into this tradition fall the family of Richard and Stephane Martin. Their parents and grandparents have tended vines and livestock in Davayé, just a few kilometers north of Beaujolais, for so many decades that it seemed inevitable that the family would begin producing and selling their own wines. Founded in 1990, and managed by Richard with his brother, Stephane, the estate today stretches across nearly 30 hectares and two domaines, La Croix Senaillet and Le Mont Epin, and produces beautifully expressive organic wines designed to appeal to every palate and every budget.
