Wine Production since 1675 in a Splendid Setting

The Oratorian Fathers of Notre Dame des Ardilliers planted the vineyards in 1675. They chose this location for the potential of its soil and perfect weather conditions. Prior of the revolution, the vines belonged to the ‘Fréres Oratoriens’ giving it the name’ Clos des Oratoriens’. In 1938, the family de Tigny acquired the estate following their passion for wine and started their winemaking journey. The vineyard is now a quiet and splendid place for producing graceful and unique Saumur Champigny. Wines are made predominately from Cabernet Franc. This grape variety is perfect for the soft oceanic climate of the Loire Valley. Low yields in the vineyard give wines a great concentration, colour, and balance. The winery produces a list of well known wines such as Chateau De Chaintres 2015 Old Organic Vine, Castle Chaintres 1989, Clos Des Oratoriens 2011, Cremant De Loire Blanc De Noir Organic, and more. Since the 2013 vintage, all wines have been certified organic by Ecocert France.
