DOMAINE DE VILLEMONT

Winery

For four generations, the Bourdier family has been producing wine in the Haut-Poitou PDO and Val de Loire PGI. Independent winegrowers, they work as small craftsmen to offer a wine in their image, working in a reasoned manner. On their 33 hectares of vines, they produce three ranges of wine: the authentic, matured in stainless steel vats; the special vintages with the names of precious stones matured in barrels; and the traditional methods. Surrounded by the vines, you will enjoy a tasting or even, by reservation, a visit and a meal on site.
