About Benoit and Laure
An agricultural engineer and oenologist, Benoit Fil began his career in 2000 in Georgia, in the heart of the Caucasus Mountains, at Georgian Wines and Spirits, a subsidiary of the Pernod-Ricard group. Alongside him, Laure, a doctor of pharmacy, prioritises family balance and gives birth to 4 beautiful children. In parallel, she is leading, on a voluntary basis, a renovation project for the town's hospital and school. In 2008, the family returned to France and Benoit became Cellar Master at Martell, where he spent eight years distilling, ageing and blending the cognacs of this prestigious house. A fifth child arrives in the Cognac region, and Laure takes the opportunity to join the municipal council of the village of Louzac Saint André. In 2017, Benoit and Laure decide to join forces and take over the Bastide de Fave vineyard together, guided by their Provençal roots.
