Château de Villeneuve

Château de Villeneuve sits on a plateau overlooking the Loire, offering a breathtaking view of the wild river. A magnificent eighteenth-century residence, Château de Villeneuve is built from the noble stone of the region's terroir: Tuffeau. The 25 hectares surrounding the Chevallier family estate produce complex wines marked by great personality, in the Saumur and Saumur-Champigny appellations.

Château de Villeneuve 's vineyards are cultivated using a "lutte raisonnée" system, with grass between the rows planted with bluegrass to optimize rooting and water supply to the vines.

Château de Villeneuve's AOC Saumur and AOC Saumur-Champigny wines are vinified in cellars dug into the tufa rock, at a constant temperature (12°). Saumur Champigny and Saumur Blanc are aged in 400 to 500-liter barrels, known as "tons" in the region. Since the 15th century, Château de Villeneuve 's wines have always held a special place in the hearts of Loire wine lovers.
