YEMENIZ ET DE ROMEFORT
Read moreChâteau des Vergers is a vineyard located in Régnié-Durette.

The estate offers wine tastings featuring Gamay noir à jus blanc, the region's emblematic grape variety. Vinification is by whole bunches, giving the wines appreciable structure and acidity. The terroir is mainly composed of decomposing pink granite, sandy soil and alluvium. The vineyards benefit from a sunny climate, which helps to raise the alcohol content of the wines. Château des Vergers also offers a gîte for visitors wishing to extend their stay.
