Our team

A team of experts

At Château Soucherie, Pascale and Roger-François Béguinot are fulfilling their lifelong dream of creating a place where wine and nature are in perfect harmony, a place to experience and share.

They have given a new impetus to the estate by switching to organic viticulture in order to respect respect our heritage and the grapes as much as possible. The cellar is an extension of the vineyard, with attention paid to the fruit and its typical character.

They rely on a young and dynamic team with a perfect knowledge of the world of wine: from the vines and their terroir, to the wine and its gastronomic associations.
