Chateau Villeneuve

On the plateau overlooking the Loire, the Château de Villeneuve offers a breathtaking view of the wildest banks of the river. A magnificent eighteenth-century residence, it transports the nobility of the time to the present day starting from the stone with which it was built, typical of the entire region: tuff. And here, since the fifteenth century, noble families have dedicated their attention to the endless vineyards. Up to the current owners, the Chevallier family. Who today has 25 acres, which just like in the noble era give complex wines characterized by a great personality. The meticulous study of the grapes is only the latest step for Château de Villeneuve. Before that, in fact, a meticulous study was also carried out on the growth of the grass, with the grafting of rows with Kentucky bluegrass to maximize rooting and water supply to the vine. Not to mention the protection of predatory mites such as typhodromas and thrips. A natural remedy to keep the grapes completely safe from chemical insecticides of any kind. Situated in a particularly fortunate position both for exposure and for the calcareous soil, the vineyards of Château de Villeneuve have always been characterized by great elegance and finesse. To which Stanislas Wallut contributes, personally responsible for the winemaking.
