PHANETTE DOUBLE

WINEMAKER, Château de Beaupré

PROVENCE, FRANCE

In 2004, Phanette Double, a graduate in Engineering and Oenology, joined Beaupré and the world of wine.

Her first vintage in 2005 was an opportunity to bring a fresh look to production and to develop the wines towards greater precision. Gradually, she put her stamp on the business and converted the vineyard to organic farming, obtaining the label 8 years later in 2013.

This environmental commitment is gradually being fleshed out with agroforestry projects to preserve and perpetuate Beaupré's natural setting; for example, a natural hedge of 500 plants and shrubs planted in 2023 linking the vineyard plots. Phanette is also careful about inputs, and all the products used on the vineyard are natural, including LiFoFer, a fermented forest litter, custom-created at the Domaine, which encourages the multiplication of micro-organisms.

In 2024, Phanette celebrates 20 years as winemaker at Beaupré, and to mark this anniversary, creates a new collection of cuvées signed “Façon Phanette”, allowing her to give free rein to her inspirations and spontaneity
