Our story

In 1980, Patrick's parents, Bernard and Yvette GONZALES, who already owned vineyards in Champagne, bought Château Gessan. In 2002, their son Patrick, a cook and hotel-restaurant for more than 30 years and passionate about wine, changed jobs. He took over the reins of the estate with his wife Marie-Christine.
