The Château de Chaintres wine estate was founded by the Oratorian monks in 1675. It comprises nearly 18 hectares of vines within an exceptional walled vineyard, in the Saumur Champigny appellation. At the helm of the estate for 3 generations, the de Tigny family works with respect for nature: the wines have been certified organic since the 2013 vintage. The estate converted to biodynamics in 2020.
