David
Levin began growing grapes seventeen years ago in Oisly
and Choussy, not far from the present winery in Bourré,
in the heart of the Loire Valley. His initial plan was
to produce grapes and have wine made under his name
for his network of luxury hotels and restaurants, The
Capital Group, in London. Later, Mr. Levin began thinking
of creating his own operation in France.
His
travels to Australia had introduced him to many advances
in agriculture and he often wondered why they were not
used in Europe. During one of his visits to Australia,
he was introduced to Thierry Merlet, who was working
for Brian Croser at Petaluma Wines in South Australia.
