Domaine de la Bergerie has been a family estate since 1964, first purchased by Marie-Scholastique Horeau and eventually passed down to her grandson, Yves Guégniard, with his wife, Marie-Annick. Now, Yves and Marie-Annick's daughters, Anne and Marie, have finished their studies and are poised to take the lead.

The estate is in the heart of Côteaux du Layon, in the Anjou region of the central Loire Valley. The soils are dark, mostly composed of schist bedrock, though with some sandstone and clay. This unique terroir allows them to explore all the facets of the estate’s grape varieties, such as Chenin, Cabernet franc and Pineau d’Aunis. To preserve and enhance the soils and diversity of the site, the estate has been certified organic since 2016.

Encompassing a total of 89 acres, the vineyards are spread throughout multiple appellations, including Anjou (blanc and rouge), Savennières, Côteaux du Layon, and Quarts de Chaume. It has always adhered to a high standard of excellence, including green harvesting, strict sorting, and separate vinification of each parcel.
