Christophe Semaska's story is linked to the rebirth, in 1988, of a great estate in the Côte-Rôtie: the Château de Montlys, a jewel spared by the French revolution of 1789.
This estate was founded by Christophe Semaska who was not destined to become a winemaker originally. He was driven by his passion for great vintages and love of the land, which is reflected today in his high-quality wines.
Christophe Semaska has always listened to his customers in order to give consumers the best satisfaction. Today, he has shifted from sustainable growing methods to an even more environmentally friendly operation by engaging in organic conversion.
