Notes from the Producer: Our Estate is located near the famous Château de Chenonceau, east of Tours in a small village Pouillé (41). Proud of our 52 hectares in the Touraine and Touraine Chenonceaux appellations, the green lines of our family vineyard adorn the hillsides bordering the Cher.
It offers an exceptional point of view over the beautiful Cher Valley and is part of the Loire Valley wine route, a famous touristic route richly sown with winegrowers’ villages, royal castles and preserved natural landscapes.
