Built
on 1928 on the site of a Gallo-Roman
villa which was one of the most important wine estate in the area,
the cellar of Chaintré is one of the oldest cellars in France.
The vineyard of Chaintré spreads over 500 acres
of hillsides. The clay and limestone soils in Chaintré produce
Chardonnay, a typical variety of this kind of soil, from which our
white wines are made up.

Among
all these wines, "Pouilly-Fuissé"
is certainly the most renowned. In fact, this famous burgundy wine
made the cellar's name. Pouilly-Fuissé is one of the facet
of a range of five other wines with varied and agreeable characters:
Pouilly-Vinzelle, Saint-Véran, Whites and Red Beaujolais
and Mâcon-Villages constitute an exhaustive mix which satisfies
all the tastes.
Located in the Mâcon surroundings, the granitic soils allow
the Gamay grape to reach their full expression. This variety which
was introduced in the Beaujolais area produces
red wines.
Situés
dans les alentours, les terrains granitiques sont l'apanage du Gamay,
cépage implanté dans le Beaujolais, et dont sont issus
les vins rouges.
