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)
