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.
