Now, as Yves and Marie-Annick's daughter, Anne, begins to take the lead, the Domaine is converting to organic viniculture and exhibiting exciting new energy - and fascinating wines.
At Domaine de la Bergerie, the entire operation is a family affair: Following stints with Alain Ducasse and Joël Robuchon, Anne's husband, David, has opened a beautiful restaurant on the property. His local cuisine is a lovely complement to the outstanding sparkling and still wines made here.
