Tasting wines from different regions of France is like a voyage of discovery. Find out why a wine tour around Chateaumeillant, one of France’s smallest AOCs, is a must for anyone visiting France’s famous Loire Valley…
Straddling the Indre and Cher departments, Chateaumeillant is slap bang in the centre of France.
Its position at the foothills of the Massif Central and the volcanic soil of the terroir, mean that the area produces delicious reds and rosés, which we think are some of the best in the Loire Valley.
Visitors to the Loire Valley tend to stick to larger, more well-known areas further to the north of the Loire Valley. Chateaumeillant provides visitors with the opportunity to leave the beaten track…and be rewarded for it!
Chateaumeillant wine is all about quality over quantity. With around 90 hectares of vines, the area doesn’t produce anywhere near as much wine as some of its bigger cousins.
But what is produced is really, really special.
We may be biased, but we think Chateaumeillant produces some of the best rosé in the whole of France. The area’s rosé gris should not be missed.
Book your wine tour through Goûts du Berry and come with us to discover the Loire Valley’s best-kept secret.
Your guide will pick you up and drop you off at your gîte or hotel (within 20km of Chateaumeillant), so you can taste the wines without worrying about designated drivers.
For those wanting to discover more of the area’s delicious produce, we also offer a day trip which includes both a wine tour and a tour around a local goat’s cheese farm.
Spring has finally sprung here in Le Berry!
Take a look at these cute baby goats from a local goat’s cheese farm. Could they be any cuter?
