In 2012, straight after Bordeaux University, Damien started working at Domaine Fournier Père et Fils, firstly as a vineyard hand to familiarize himself with the Sancerre terroirs, then as a winemaker since 2012. Damien is now happily settled in Verdigny and has been elected as a local councillor in Verdigny! Damien belongs to the new generation of Sancerre winemakers, bringing life to new environmental projects while benefiting from the long winemaking heritage of the appellation.
‘Under the mentorship of Mr. de Villebois, our daily mission is to perpetuate the timeless values of the estate. Thanks to our ever-increasing knowledge of our terroirs, an unfailing curiosity and a desire to produce great wines, we are constantly improving our expertise to make better wines year in year out.’
