Gilles Lesimple

Gilles Lesimple is the fourth generation of a winegrowing family in Chavignol, Sancerre, and has worked the vines since 1997 after training at an American winery. He farms about 10 hectares, 85% Sauvignon Blanc, across the three main Sancerre soils (limestone, flint and terres blanches), with minimal intervention and grass cover in some rows. The bottles carry the name Domaine Lesimple et Fils.
