Gérard Simonnot, bouilleur de Cru in Chateauneuf-sur-Charente (petite champagne)

This rather unknown bouilleur de cru has been established here since 1870, in the area of petite champagne. But apart from petite champagne, they also have vineyards in the grande champagne  (near Bouteville) and the fins bois areas.
He runs his company together with Emmanuel Simonnot.
Nowadays (2014) Gérard Simonnot is also président des Vignerons Indépendants des Charentes.

Range (all fine champagnes): VS Carentonic, VSOP Halage, Napoléon Prélude, XO Emotions and Valois.
