Jérôme Billard & Vincent Roussely

We are delighted that Jérôme Billard from Domaine de la Noblaie in Chinon and Vincent Roussely from Clos Roussely in Touraine, two of the most talented young vignerons in the Loire , have agreed to come over and and present their wines.

This is the first visit to RSJ by Jerome who has more than 18 hectares in Ligre and works organically, making stunning red and white Chinon. He trained at Château Pétrus and also in California before returning to the family Domaine and has taken it to new heights.

Vincent showed his wines here at a very successful evening a couple of years ago and he makes wonderful Sauvignon, Gamay and Côt. He trained in South Africa, Australia and California and likewise makes his wines organically. Since we have been importing them they have gone from strength to strength

They both speak very good English and it is sure to be a terrific evening.

These wines will be accompanied by a 3 course dinner.
