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.

"A generous, ripe Cabernet that will please with its character and finesse".

A blend of Cabernet Franc planted between 65 and 85 years ago, on tuffeau soil conferring good minerality. This Saumur-Champigny is suave, juicy and very vinous, with silky tannins that will refine with age. Surprisingly fruity and deep.

"One of the finest vintages tasted of this cuvée (Le Guide RVF)".

"Les Cormiers promises to be ripe and concentrated in 2022. It's the perfect embodiment of dry, clean, ripe Chenin, with fine shoulders, sculpted by a salient, very salivating finish. Open it now and keep it for ten years or more. One of the finest vintages tasted of this cuvée". (Le Guide RVF 2025).

"This charming and elegant Saumur-Champigny will be the perfect accompaniment to all your moments of sharing and conviviality.

A Cabernet Franc with crisp, gently spicy tannins, to open on the fruit or wait a few years. A true gourmet wine!

"Tailored for the guard!

This is the Clos that surrounds the château! It is only produced in vintages of excellent maturity. A red that always needs a few years to reveal its full potential, with great finesse, energy and magnificent concentration of fruit. Superb balance!

This fine white opens the domaine's gourmet range. A Saumur aged on lees, it expresses complexity, roundness and elegant floral notes. Convivial, it subtly expresses the strengths of Chenin Blanc, to be enjoyed on any occasion !

(Notes vintage 2013)

Even though it's aptly named, it was the land registry that bestowed the name on this small 1.5-hectare estate. It is said that horses used to come here to drink... Vinified with an eye for fruit, it's a wine to be savored as a treat, and can also be enjoyed with a sunny lunch. It's perfect for summer grilling, or simply as an aperitif with friends.

"Black cherry on the nose, tannin with a persistent, coated straightness, it's already well in place" (Le Guide Bettane & Desseauve des Vins de France 2015). Aged in 500-liter two- and three-wine barrels, this red from old vines is fresh, developing pleasant floral and citrus notes on the nose. A smooth, juicy and very vinous Saumur-Champigny, to be enjoyed with a fine piece of red meat, for example!
