Châteaumeillant AOC

Description to Châteaumeillant AOC

The appellation named after the town of the same name is located in the French wine-growing region of Loire on the upper course of the river. The former VDQS area was classified as an AOC in 2010. During construction work in the 19th century, almost 300 amphorae dating back to the first century BC were found here. At the time, these were used to transport Italian wine. The vineyards cover 100 hectares of vines in the communes of Champillet, Feusines, Néret, Reigny, Saint-Maur, Vesdun and Urciers in the Cher department. Mainly red and rosé wines are produced from Pinot varieties Gamay, Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir. A local speciality is vin gris, which is produced from the Gamay grape without mash fermentation (like a white wine).
