A vineyard in the heart of the Loire Valley

 

Our 21-acre estate is located in Cour Cheverny between Loire and Sologne, near Château de Cheverny and Château Chambord and operates with sustainable farming practices.

We take great care of our vineyards, nurturing the soil, the plants and the surrounding environment. Our wines develop a unique character and represent the treasures of our terroir.

We combine both modern equipment and traditional winemaking methods to work the vines using clay-siliceous and limestone soil.

Many of our wines, produced from the grapes of our vines, are labelled “AOC Cheverny”, “AOC Cour-Cheverny” or “Vin de France”.

The estate is notably home to a 50-year old plot of land, just over 4,5 acres big, that produces a rare and unique grape. First introduced by Francois I of France, the “Romorantin” grape offers subtle yet captivating flavours that preserve its typicity.
