Wine Tasting

What could possibly rival the châteaux of the Loire? The wines perhaps?

Château de Jalesnes was the family home of one of the region’s founding vintners – Ackerman – who brought the now famous sparkling wine or Cremant to the Loire using the champagne method of manufacture.
Also not to be missed is the distillery of Combier, with its ancient steaming copper stills; the wonderful wines of Parnay where the vines are grown through south facing stone walls with the roots taking respite from the sun on the North side and not forgetting the region’s only Grand Cru – the sweet Quarts de Chaume.
