It took Robert Wessman, fervent wine connoisseur and world traveller, over fifteen years to find what he was looking for. 
12th century Château de Saint-Cernin, home to wine production for centuries with exceptional vineyard micro-parcels in the Bergerac appellation, is the result of this journey and the beginning of our story.

With a clear vision of the incredible potential of Château de Saint-Cernin and an ambitious plan to realise it, Robert Wessman and his partner Ksenia Shakhmanova set out to revive and reinvent the Estate’s ancient wine-making heritage. And so Maison Wessman was born.

Today, we continue to develop the potential of Château de Saint-Cernin, while fulfilling a wider ambition: to craft world class wines from select French terroirs to delight connoisseurs.
