The Story Dirk Vermeersch, former Belgian Racing Car Champion and Maserati car dealer, founded the LePlan-Vermeersch Winery in the Southern Rhone Valley of France in 2000. He bought a ruin with 2 hectares of very old Carignan vines (planted in 1961) which he restored to a B&B and a little winery. As a completely self-taught winemaker, he created from scratch the LePlan GT wines range with an entirely new style of wines, labels and marketing. The LePlan GT wines are made from local single grape varieties such as Aramon, Alicante, Carignan, Grenache, Syrah and Viognier in red, white, rose and sweet wines under the Vin de France flag. The Family Meanwhile his daughter Ann went to the local oenology school in the Chateauneuf-du-Pape region to learn her trade. Here she met her future husband Sebastian. In 2005 they both joined the LePlan-Vermeersch Winery. In 2010 the Vermeersch-Barbara family decided to sell the old Mas and B&B and built a brand new, ultra-modern, 2400m² winery in Suze-la-Rousse, which is situated in the middle of 25 hectares of GT “Grand Terroir” vineyards at Suze la Rousse (village of the Universite du Vin).
