Château du Petit Thouars – Saint-Germain-sur-Vienne, 37500, Chinon, France

Comte Yves du Petit Thouars guided us around on the vineyard The Cabernet Franc grapes…. Dimitri joined us as well, I guess Bear was happy with that ;-) The wine cellar….where the wines are aged in French oak casks…it smelled so good… In their historic tasting room we tried their red, chenin and rosé. Their wines can be found at La Grande Epicérie in Paris and at Systembolaget in Sweden? Not bad as I live almost in front of La Grand Epicerie and I can tell my dad in Sweden to enjoy this lovely wine.
