La Sènèchaliere is the creation of Marc Pesnot, a vigneron son of art; and in fact for many years Marc produced conventional wines together with his father.

His life changes at the urging of his brother Denis, a historic French sommelier who served the late chef Joel Robuchon for many years.

Denis opened his eyes and allowed him to meet great producers such as Marcel Lapierre and Pierre Overnay, who would strongly influence his style.

The company today has 13 hectares of vineyards, all biodynamic since 2000, with very low yields of almost 20 quintals per hectare; the vineyards are between 50 and 80 years old, mainly in Melon de Bourgogne with a small plot of Folle Blanche in Muscadet.

His wines are to be loved, they interpret the territory in an original and overwhelming way
