Yohann GASNIER, cellar master at La Cave Robert & Marcel :
“Born from a family from the Loire Valley and Belfort, I did not grow up in the wine world. After a few experiences, my passion for wine was born and confirmed. Following a degree in plant bioengineering, I discovered the profession of oenologist and naturally turned to a DNO in Bordeaux. I discovered the Saumur region thanks to a friend and fell in love with the region and its wines, but I did not stay and set off on an adventure again. I discover the Loire, the Charentes, New Zealand, Beaujolais but I finally return to the sources, to Saumur. »
