The story behind it
Gilles Lesimple represents the fourth generation of winegrowers in Sancerre, taking over the family estate in 1997. Practicing sustainable viticulture, the winery carefully vinifies distinct plots separately to preserve the authentic limestone minerality of the region.
Deep in the heart of Sancerre, the family-run winery & vineyard of Gilles Lesimple spans prime parcels on the renowned chalky clay soils of Chavignol. This unique terroir of 'terres blanches' and caillottes gives the grapes their signature purity, nerve, and structural elegance.
