| Dating back to the 15th century, the Château de la Roche towers above the right bank of the River Loire, 4 km from Amboise: the royal town that was home to François I and Leonardo da Vinci. |
|
Built by Geoffroy de Marray in around 1470, it is a beautiful example of Renaissance architecture. Formerly a surveillance outpost protecting a ford over the Loire, it later played host to a great number of famous guests from the worlds of politics and the Arts, including the Duke of Choiseul, the Princess of Ursins, the Daudet family, Anatole France, Marcel Proust and Paul Cézanne.

Today, it is the site of a beautiful 37-hectare vineyard, arranged of 37 hectares in three main parcels :
- le Breuil
- les Dessus de la Roche
- Artigny
all bordering the Loire in a narrow strip of land three kilometres long. It is also home to the registered office of the Société Domaine Chainier. |
|
| The exceptional flint clay soils are responsible for giving our Sauvignons their distinctive smoky taste. The vineyard is cultivated according to the principles of sustainable agriculture. A blend of vine and stone, evocative names and major appellations! |
