Gerard Fiou

Domaine Gérard Fiou is a French family business in the eastern Loire region, founded by the ancestors of Gérard Fiou and taken over by the Bourgeois family after his retirement. This family is a leading maker of Sancerre and Pouilly wines: their expertise does winery Domaine Gerard Fiou no harm! Wine has been made in this area since the 15th century, monks have helped develop viticulture.

For a long time, the terroir of the Domaine Gérard Fiou vineyard was considered too difficult for viticulture, now all the winegrowers in the area agree that this is the most interesting terroir of Sancerre AOP. The 24-hectare estate has belonged to the Fiou family for several generations. The vineyards are planted on the particularly rich 'silex' soil in the vicinity of Saint-Satur. This exceptional terroir provides optimal ripening to the grapes by storing the sun's heat and releasing it evenly throughout the night. Under the leadership of Gerard Fiou, the domain is completely organic and has been officially certified since 2010.
