Château de Brossay

4.1/5See all 8 reviews

Château de Brossay, located in Cléré-sur-Layon, stands south of the Loire River in the Deux-Sèvres department. Steeped in history, the building dates back to the 15th century, while the vineyard was established in 1919 by Alexis Deffois.

It is on this clay-gravel soil over schist, situated on the southern slope of the hillside between Cléré-sur-Layon and Passavant-sous-Layon, that the fourth generation of winemakers is taking up the torch, represented by Nicolas Tamboise and Benjamin Grandsart.

The Château de Brossay vineyard now spans 45 hectares, with the vines cultivated using sustainable viticulture practices certified HVE (High Environmental Value). The white wines of Château de Brossay are made from Sauvignon, Chenin, and Chardonnay; the red wines from Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grolleau, and Gamay. The Coteaux du Layon, the region’s star wines and great sweet wines, are made possible by the region’s microclimate, characterized by mild winters, hot summers, and low rainfall.
