Touraine
The vineyard of the hillsides of the Loire and its tributaries.
Recognised as an appellation of origin since 1939, AOP Touraine stretches east and west of Tours, across the hillsides and plateau edges shaped by the Loire, the Cher, the Indre and the Vienne. The whites are made from Sauvignon, the reds mainly from Côt and Cabernet Franc.

Cuvée 1245
A tribute to the monks of Pontlevoy abbey
Who, in 1245, planted the first vines on the hillsides of Château de Thésée. A Sauvignon Blanc fermented and aged in barrels, for roundness and elegance, without losing any of the brilliance of its aromas, from a cool, free-draining silty-siliceous terroir strewn with flint fragments.
The climate
The ocean fades east of Tours
AOP Touraine enjoys an oceanic climate whose influence weakens towards the east, around the meridian of Tours, where the temperature range is wider. It is here, in the Cher valley, that Château de Thésée is located.
