The Bourgeois family story is told over ten generations of wine growers in Sancerre – in the village of Chavignol.

In the 1950’s Henri Bourgeois became the main figure of the turning point in the family’s history. From cultivating two hectares on the slopes of Chavignol, he took the audacious step of concentrating on his vines in a new area, giving way to wines of high quality of his own name.

His sons, Jean-Marie and Rémi, joined him in the 1960s and continued the adventure. They discovered new terroirs, bought land, developed partnerships with other Sancerre families, and turned themselves into ambassadors for Sancerre’s reputation in France, then abroad. Today, Arnaud, Lionel, and Jean-Christophe Bourgeois are at the forefront of the brand.
