Wine for sale: Kei Shiogai

Kei Shiogai

Born in Tokyo, Kei Shiogai discovered the world of wine in Japan and New Zealand, where he held various positions in the industry. He moved to France in 2014, where he lived with a host family in Dijon. He worked tirelessly to learn French and, at the same time, obtained degrees in viticulture. To extend his knowledge, he then joined some prestigious estates as a vineyard worker. Passionate and ambitious, Kei Shiogai succeeded in establishing his own estate through hard work and diligence, acquiring grapes from outstanding terroirs, notably in Pommard and Gevrey-Chambertin. With his sights set on producing unique wines that also reflect the purest Burgundy tradition, Kei Shiogai closely oversees the work conducted in the vineyard. Once harvesting is completed, he personally handles the vinification. Each step is carefully thought through to produce authentic, intense and highly concentrated cuvées.
