In 1924,
Justin Gardien, who came from a long line of wine-growers, decided
to acquire the Chassignolles vineyard, where he set up base with
his wife and son. And so it was that the Domaine Gardien was born.
In that era, wines were sold in barrels and were not the subject
of any particular appellation.
In 1933,
his son René succeeded him, and under his stewardship, the
business soon obtained the Vin de Saint-Pourçain label.
In 1959,
after Bernard took over the helm, he decided to start selling its
wine in bottles, initially in small amounts, then gradually over
the years, the entire harvest. Having entered the family business
in 1991 and 1996 respectively, Olivier and Christophe now run this
vineyard of over 20 hectares.
Its red, white and rosé are sold throughout France.
