Vineyards with Over 70 Years of History

The vineyards at Château Soucherie span three distinct sites. The estate boasts 22 hectares of vines on a southern hillside, providing shelter from harsh winds. Notably, 4 hectares are dedicated to Chaume, with vines over 70 years old, while 1.8 hectares are planted in Savennières, where the shale soil imparts a distinct minerality to the wines. The estate cultivates a variety of grapes, including Anjou Blanc, Savennières, Anjou Rouge, Anjou Villages, Rosé de Loire, Coteaux du Layon, and Crémant de Loire. These grapes contribute to a diverse range of exquisite red, white, rosé, sparkling, and dessert wines. All vineyard work is performed manually, preserving the soil's integrity and allowing the grapes to maintain their natural flavors. This commitment to sustainable practices ensures that the wines authentically represent the terroir.
