At their parents' death in 1965, Alphonse's brothers and sisters gave him the family property. Alphonse had been working there since he was 14 years old (1943). He had more ambitions than to only produce grapes; therefore, Alphonse and Françoise created the "Mas d'Intras" in 1982.

At age 80 and 78 respectively (in 2009), Alphonse and Françoise are now retired, but they are always available to give a helping hand where needed.

WHO IS WORKING AT THE MAS D’INTRAS NOW?

Currently there are only five of us. Denis and Emmanuel joined the estate in the early nineties, as did Emmanuel's wife Magalie - our part-time employee. Sébastien, the son of Alphonse's youngest sister, joined as a third partner in 2005. Ida, our employee (and the peettante from Denis's daughter Camille), is working part-time for us since january 2003. Since January 1st 2010, Sébastien and Denis manage the Mas d'Intras together.

Sébastien is responsible for the equipment and the vineyards, takes care of the cellar and supervises the bottling. Magalie assists him.

Magalie works in the office and helps customers in our tasting room, where we all take turns lending a hand.

Denis's job is marketing and delivering of the wine in France and Northern Europe.

Ida is originally from Holland. She comes 3 days a week to sale the wine in our tasting-room and makes the translations in english and in nederlands.

Our friends and associates in Germany Elke et Werner make the deliveries in Germany and Denmark, often with the company from Denis.
