ESTATE HISTORY
Gilles Lesimple comes from four generations of winegrowers. Based in the village of Chavignol, a commune in Sancerre, he has worked in the industry since 1997. After having trained in a stellar American winery, he took over the family estate in Chavignol, where he harvests 10 hectares, of which 85% are Sauvignon Blanc.
After several years working with local wine merchants of the commune, Gilles recently decided to start bottling his own wine. He takes cares for his vines with minimum intervention to ensure maximum respect for the environment.
