The Langlois-Chateau team : A whole team of enthusiasts
François Régis de Fougeroux
Current General Manager
"Originally from the region, I grew up on my parents’
farm where I quickly became passionate about nature,
hunting and of course wines. I also went to discover
new horizons spending time in Argentina, Brazil and
a very impressive and unforgettable experience in an
Australian Winery (Petaluma in the Adelaide area).
Both a biology and finance graduate, I joined
Langlois-Chateau in 2001 as Production Manager. In
2008, Michel Villedey (Managing Director since
1973) decided to retire. He then asked me to succeed
him. Since then, I have continued his work, working
with the whole team, to establish Langlois-Chateau as
the ultimate winery of the Loire Valley."
Laurent Onillon
Sales Manager
"Also from this region, I started in the wine business
a bit by chance although I have always been very
interested in local products. As an international trade
graduate, I arrived at Langlois-Chateau in 2002 to
head the export department. I took over the sales
management in 2008 and I remain convinced that
many challenges have yet to be overcome!"
Jean François Liegeois
Production manager
"Coming from Alsace, wines but also Crémants were
part of my daily vocabulary. So I decided to obtain
the National Diploma of Enology in Dijon to be able
to work in this field. I then joined Langlois-Chateau
in 2005 to manage and supervise production. The
transition to organic wine growing of some of our
vineyards, our search for excellence and the vagaries
of nature compel us to question question ourselves."
Michel Launay
Visit and direct sales manager
"Brittany being my bastion, I had to cross the Loire to
come to the vineyards. After studying history, the
Loire region seemed an ideal place. Arriving at
Langlois-Chateau in 1993, I set up all the visit, wine
tourism and direct sales activity. And today, I still
want to share this passion with all our visitors."
