Wine estates Restigné

The Domaine de la Chevalerie offers you an exceptional Bourgueil wine for tasting: finesse and fruity aromas. Created in 1640, this estate is a family history. The vines of La Chevalerie are between 30 and 70 years old. They benefit from a biodynamic culture. The vintages that stand out at the domain are called "parcellaires", which will allow you to discover all the diversity of the terroir of the AOC Bourgueil. You will discover all these details during your visit. And don't forget to bring back these vintages which are worth the trip.

Six generations of wine growers succeeded in this biemont house of the late th century. Today Jean-François Demont and his family continue the Longue's long story. The wines have been recognized and rewarded many times: in Mâcon, Paris, the Vinalies (French Union of Oenologists) or served at the Elysée and Matignon. You can stay in the rural cottage 4 ears (calm and assured comfort; Reservations are made via the Gîtes de France). The area is ideal for exploring the work of the wine grower and tasting the wines of the Domaine.

Domaine Audebert has been a family affair for over 100 years! Hubert continues to perpetuate the family tradition and know-how by paying great attention to his vines. This care allows him to produce a wine of extreme regularity, always acclaimed by the experts. In particular his Vieilles Vignes cuvée, cultivated on a 2 hectare plot of which half of the vines are over 100 years old! A great wine for ageing, powerful and fruity. A range from 5 to 8 €, perfect value for money. To see: the impressive cellar dug into the hillside!

We give you an appointment in this beautiful wine-growing area, where Catherine and Pierre Breton cultivate a vineyard of 11 hectares. You can of course admire the vineyards, but also learn how wine is produced: manual harvest, natural vinification, manufacturing secrets since 1985. Their wines reflect their land, the vine and the vintage, as shown by this bourgueil 2006, a wine of character grown from vines over 50 years old. A true know-how in this region so renowned for its great wines.

Domaine du Petit Bondieu is a vineyard run by Thomas Pichet, a winemaker specializing in Bourgueil and Chinon wines. The estate offers a wide selection of organic wines, from red to white to rosé. Highlights include "Le Haut Midi" organic red Chinon, "Cuvée Céleste" organic red Bourgueil, "Le Haut Midi" organic white Chinon and "Coin de Paradis" rosé. The domaine also offers organic wines with no added sulfites, such as Bourgueil rouge bio cuvée l'Ange and Pétillant Naturel Rosé.

The Domaine du Petit Bondieu is a family story. Founded in 1976 by Jean-Marc Pichet, it was taken over in 2012 by his son Thomas. This 27-hectare organic estate planted with Cabernet Franc, produces fruity or deeper Bourgueil wine, thanks to the two terroirs cultivated (sandy soil/clay-limestone soil). Two cuvées of Chinon (Red and White) have also appeared since 2016. This passion for wine and its know-how is shared by Thomas and his team on social networks and live during cellar visits and tastings.
