Patrick Bruel, a well-known French actor and singer, an accomplished poker player and a television poker commentator, is no newcomer to the wine scene. He is a longtime friend and collaborator of Philippe Faure-Brac, Best Sommelier in the World 1992, and since 2007 is also the owner of Vaucluse estate Domaine de Leos (named after his sons Léon and Oscar).
The 41ha estate is located near the town of L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue in northwest Provence, in the hills and on the Plateau de Margoye.
