Michèle de Jessey, general manager
I always liked earth, gardening, flowers: this domaine--its vineyard, its wine, its garden--became my passion. I have learned everything in the field, thanks to outstanding technical advisors from the area and extremely competent neighbours who guided me and trusted me to the point of electing me President of the Savennières AOC in 1990 and again in 1993. (One can not be elected more than twice). I think that I was the first woman in France to be president of a wine appellation.

The old employees retired one after the other and we gradually hired new staff : Bruno Perray in the cellar Rémi Poitevineau, who comes from horticultural background, supervises the work out in the vineyard. They are helped by Hassan and Joël, who are augmented by seasonal help as necessary. Our consultant oenologist is Clément Barraut from the GDDV, who advises us on different aspects of culture and vinification .

As a child , I have already been fascinated by " taste " ; my best memories are linked to the sun warm rasberries and red currents from the old vegetable garden, fresh goat cheeses , local dark bread, and all the wonderful meals prepared by our old cook. This passion for " taste " never left me , and when I came back to France after many years abroad , working with the vineyard seemed to me a wonderful way to express it.

I am extremely interested in all the research going on in the area on the impact of the terroir on the wine. This is something that I to work on mostly in order to produce the most perfect, finest and most complex wine. I have been working for a few years in the marketing of the wine, developping sales in North America and Northern Europe

My brother Arnauld and his wife are partners. All of our children are very interested in the vineyard.
