Wine estates Venesmes

This small isolated vineyard located 35 km south of Bourges was planted at the initiative of a group of farmers. After a rich past, more than 200 ha in 1900, and a total extinction in the seventies, it is reborn today thanks to the determination. Originally, Venesmes was known mainly for its Sauvignon. This heritage has been beneficial to the new group, aware of the potential of its land for this white. Planting of Sauvignon was therefore 3,5 ha, the first in 1997. The rest is planted in Pinot Noir and some gamay. The first harvest took place in 2000. Sold in wine Country of the Cher to 25 € the six whites and 27 € the six reds, it is a wine of pleasant thirst. That will undoubtedly be apparent in the years to come. Congratulations to this group, to its courage and love for a forgotten land, more for a long time, we hope!
