Arpents du Soleil, the first vineyard in Normandy
It is thanks to his overflowing passion and undoubtedly a touch of madness, that Gérard Samson revived this vineyard which had existed since the Middle Ages and whose existence had fallen into oblivion. Blessed with exceptional soil and sunshine from which it takes its name, the estate produces delicate white and red wines, which have won several awards.
The official “High Environmental Value” certification of Arpents du Soleil attests to the winegrower's involvement in favor of the environment.

In 2024, the Arpents du Soleil wine was selected for the 22nd time by the famous Hachette Wine Guide. His first selection dates back to 1998, the year of production of his first vintage!
