THE STORY OF THE DOMAINE DE LA BERGERIE'S WINE
In the Guégniard family wine growing has continued for 7 generations, even from mother to son or from father to daughter
Yves' grandmother bought the estate La Bergerie in the 1964 so that she could extend her vineyard inheritance.
She, immediately after, bestowed it to her daughter "Marie-Agnes" in the same year. It was in 1979 that Yves joined his parents.
From then onward, Yves and Marie-Annick, his wife, have progressively increased their vineyard and their appellations.
It is thus, in the middle of the "Coteaux du Layon", in the excellent region of Anjou one will find today the Bergerie which extends to 36 hectares (88.96 acres)
