Constance Hotels brings leading French winemakers to Mauritius

Head sommelier Jerome Faure is thrilled to be welcoming leading French winemakers from Domaine Alain Graillot and Chateau de Mille to Constance Belle Mare Plage and Constance Le Prince Maurice, Mauritius in January and February.

Chateau de Mille

Pierre Pinatel is the owner of Chateau de Mille, one of the oldest properties in the Luberon region.

The chateau was built as a summer retreat for the popes of the 14th century when the first vineyards were planted. Today the small yield wine is still produced here in a traditional way.

Domaine Alain Graillot

Maxime Graillot now runs the famous Domaine Alain Graillot in the Crozes-Hermitage region using the same traditional, artisan methods established by his father.

The grapes are picked by hand and no chemical weedkillers are used in the production of its complete Syrah-based reds or its 80 per cent Marsanne / 20 per cent Roussanne whites.

Pierre Pinatel and Maxime Graillot will be visiting Constance Le Prince Maurice and Constance Belle Mare Plage to host a series of exclusive wine dinners for guests.
