[FR] Il sont localisé au long de la seule et unique rue du village de Chavignol, au pied du célèbre coteau, la Côte des Monts Damnés.

Avec seulement 2 hectares de vignes en 1950, Henri Bourgeois et ses fils ont agrandi la production à 72 hectares de vignes réparties sur 120 parcelles sur les coteaux de Sancerre, Pouilly Fumé et... à Marlborough en Nouvelle-Zélande.

Seuls une douzaine de vignerons de l’appellation Sancerre ont la chance de bénéficier de la présence de Marnes Kimméridgiennes sur leur vignoble, qui donnent beaucoup de personnalité aux vins.

[EN] Each member of the family, Jean-Marie Bourgeois, Arnaud, Lionel & Jean-Christophe, brings his knowledge and expertise to this wine Estate. Rooted to their beloved village of Chavignol, on the greatest terroirs of Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, they work on a mosaic of many vine plots. Each plot is isolated and worked respecting its origin to reveal, in the most precise and true way, the expression of its terroir - either Kimmerigdian marls, Flint or Limestone Clay soils.
