Welcome to the Areni Global podcast. In today’s episode How to Connect Farming and Hospitality to Create a Complete Wine Business – In Conversation with Jean-Charles Boisset, Elaine Chukan Brown speaks to Jean-Charles Boisset, winemaker, owner of multiple wineries, author, proponent of organic and the biodynamic farming method and so much more. Together they delve into the meaning of hospitality and Jean-Charles’ devotion to showing people that wine can be a passion, a lifestyle. He accentuates the impact of intentions; his properties’ organic and biodynamic farming methods, and their importance for the future of farming, wine and health in general. Both Elaine and Jean-Charles also explore the more interesting aspects of the biodynamic ideology.


 About Jean-Charles Boisset:


 Jean-Charles Boisset was born into the world of wine in the village of Vougeot, Burgundy, France. His lifelong passion for wine began as a child, growing up above the cellars and within view of the centuries-old vineyards of Château du Clos Vougeot, the epicenter and birthplace of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. His parents, Jean-Claude and Claudine, founded the family winery in 1961 with an innovative and entrepreneurial spirit in one of the most traditional winegrowing regions in the world. Today, the family collection includes wineries that share more than 18 centuries of combined winemaking heritage and tradition in some of the world’s most prestigious terroirs, from Burgundy to the South of France, to California’s Napa Valley and Russian River Valley.
