Domain information:

Successors to many generations of winemakers, the two brothers Jean-Fernand and François decided in 1991 to clear old plots and plant only Sauvignon. This grape feels at home in the chalky flint soil of Giennois. The company not only grew over the years, but Gamay and Pinot Noir were also planted. Along with Sauvignon, these are the three grape varieties permitted in Coteaux du Giennois.

The two brothers, who founded the Villargeau vineyard, are now taking a step back but remain involved in daily activities and the direction in which the company wants to head. After all, they are the history of Villargeau. Current management is now in the hands of Marc, Yves, and Christophe
