The Story

The estate is located at the bottom of the Bourgueil forest : Michel and Joëlle Lorieux settled in Chevrette, close to their grandfather, also a winegrower. Juggling between the family estate and Clos de l'Abbaye (the Appellation's historic estate), the family business has grown and expanded in terms of vineyards. Jérémy Lorieux, their son, has been working on the estate since 2005 : he is today the 4th generation to take over the estate.
