Why Women Grow

Jeany Cronk on ripping up the rule book


Listen Later

When Jeany Cronk moved her young family from London to the south of France, she did so on a mission to not only make delicious wine, but shake up the whole rose tradition in the process. The co-founder of Mirabeau, Jeany and her family decided to put sustainability at the heart of their company. 

After waking up on the vineyard, we are treated to a tour of Jeany’s farm, which is the first Regenerative Organic Certified accredited vineyard in France. There, along with meeting a couple of pigs and llamas, we learn more about the risk and reward of taking the plunge to work with the outside world.

A huge thank you to Jeany Cronk, who has recently released At Home in Provence, a book that charts a culinary and family journey in the region along with life on the farm and its regenerative practices. Mirabeau has recently welcomed a new Rose to the family, called One Day.
