We took over the vineyard of Château de Saint Louans in August 2006. We have spent a complete year to recondition the vineyard and its trellis before getting our first real harvest in 2007.

The castle's vineyard is located between the Clos du Pin and the Clos des Aubuis on the original terroir of Chinon appellation, one of the hillsides which draws the right bank of the Vienne, around the city of CHINON. With very little clay and depth, the sandy soil expresses only its simple and fine characters. On the other hand, the substratum of " superior Turonien " or Touraine yellow tuffeau is an unlimited resource. The terroir rapidly warms just after the winter and produces moderate harvest which reachs regularly the perfect maturity at the beginning of October.
