The first mention of the château dates back to 889. In 1881, General Delaveau settled there and made architectural modifications. Today, the property belongs to the Marteling family, who have reconstituted the vineyard. The 15 hectares of vines benefit from clay-limestone soil and several forms of intervention – disbudding, de-suckering, leaf thinning, etc. The harvests are manual and the cellars are dug into a chalky stone called tuffeau. The result: renowned wines, including the red Saumur Cabernet Franc – the main grape variety.
