Located in the vicinity of Bourgueil, Chinon and Saumur, near the western border of the Touraine appellation, the award-winning Château du Petit Thouars vineyard is planted in Saint-Germain-Sur-Vienne, on a clay and limestone plateau. This combination is ideal for the Cabernet Franc variety which defines the wines from the Chinon area. Also known under the name “Briton”, this variety produces thin-musked, blue-shaded black berries. Ripe grapes will give wines developing intense red fruit aromas.
