Le domaine existe depuis 2002 : Sébastien reprend alors les 1,8 ha de vignes et la cave de ses grands-parents maternels, à la retraite depuis 15 ans.
Le choix de la culture biologique s'impose, notamment sous l'influence d' Olivier Cousin . Il cultive 1,5 ha de cabernet franc et 0,30 ha de chenin, vinifiés dans la cave historique du domaine creusée dans le coteau de Saumur. Les vins élevés en barriques dans la cave en tuffeau donnent naissance aux cuvées Amatéus Bobi et Echalier.
En 2007, son insatiable désir d'expérimenter est comblé par la rencontre avec Bernard Pontonnier, dit « Ponpon », qui lui ouvre les portes de la macération carbonique.
Puis vient le temps de grandir : en 2010, il reprend 2h de cabernet franc en fermage. Sébastien a aussi envie de vinifier d'autres cépages que le cabernet franc et le chenin, et décide d'acheter quelques raisins de cépages Pineau d'Aunis, Gamay et Côt. Du rififi à Beaulieu est né !
En 2011, il est rejoint par sa compagne Emeline , sommelière de formation. Leur collaboration donne une nouvelle ampleur au domaine qui continue de grandir, s'équipe, s'affirme dans un souci constant de tenir le cap d'une activité pérenne et éthique.

One of the widest selections of the web of authors' wines and craftsmen
What is an author wine?
This can be so diverse depending on the personality of their sire, that it is easier to define what it is not. An author wine is anything but a standard, stereotypical wine, made to please as many people as possible. It is therefore rarely produced in millions of copies, copying itself from vintage in vintage.
An author wine is therefore a wine that does not look like that of the neighbor. Which from year to year will evolve according to the vagaries of the weather and the mood of the author - the two that can be linked. Because the author does not rely on market studies to carry out his boat. He makes his wine as he feels, as he likes, as he can, sometimes ... and too bad if he does not please everyone.
This is why author wines are sometimes classified as "table wine" or "France wine". Because the winemaker did not plan the authorized grape variety*, makes the assembly or vinification recommended in the name **. He is often a bit rebellious, our author. But that is why we like it! ... That said, author's wines are not systematically marginal: they are present in most of the appellations, and can be part of the elite of these this***. Because they are not content to have personality: they are good, in addition! With in general aDegree of TorchabilityVery high: we never tire of it at the end of the first sip.
As author's wines are not chaptalized, levied, hacked ... They can have very different profiles depending on the vintage. It is up to us (resellers and consumers) to accept them as they are, and to remain faithful to the producers, because they need us to continue their activity.
