Presentation

Presentation
"Born in 1978 in Saumur, daughter and granddaughter of a winegrower, I was introduced at a very young age to the rigorous work of the vine. Later, learning to taste wine only increased my desire to discover the world of wine and its many facets. Once I had obtained my diploma of Agronomy and Oenology in Bordeaux, I left to work for 4 years as Production Manager in a Cooperative Winery in the Rhone Valley. In 2008, I returned to the Loire Valley as Cellar Master of the Bourgueil Winery and took over the management in 2009. Today I put as much energy into managing this cellar as I do into making wines that reflect the terroir of Bourgueil: supple, warm and convivial ... with a touch of feminine sensitivity of course."
Pauline Fouchereau, cellar master at the Cave des Vins de Bourgueil
