Jean Montbray, born in Anjou in 1888, studied law until World War I broke out. He enlisted and became a fighter pilot and earned military honors for valor, including the Croix de Guerre and Legion of Honor. At the end of the war, he returned to Anjou where he met Josephine de Monbourg. They married in 1916 and Josephine’s vineyards became his other passion. He worked the vineyards until his death in 1967. Today, Jean’s passion is still in the vines of the estate.
