Gagnon Kennedy

Gagnon Kennedy is a wine producer rooted in Napa Valley, formed through a partnership between winemaker Marc Gagnon and Kennedy in the months after Gagnon left Bryant Estate in 2018. The partnership followed a dinner with friends in Napa, where Kennedy asked Gagnon what he planned to do next.

Gagnon and Kennedy signed vineyard contracts for three Napa Valley sites: Beckstoffer Georges III in Rutherford, Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper in Oakville, and Samuel Brannan Vineyard in Calistoga. These sites have planting histories stretching back to the nineteenth century: Samuel Brannan was originally planted in 1862, followed by Missouri Hopper in 1877 and Georges III in 1895.
