THE BIRTH OF CHATEAU DU BREUIL

Domaine du Breuil has been able to take advantage of the regional micro-climate and promotes the life of the soil by reducing the use of inputs. This Château du Breuil, whose quiet harmony of the 19th century monitors the vineyards, houses unexpected treasures.

The vineyard is mostly located in front of the castle, on a terroir of schists and in south-facing hills. Chateau du Breuil draws its strength from its use of the Angevin climate, which is manifested by oceanic and continental influences depending on the area, as well as very little rain but an intense morning fog followed by sun in the vineyard.
