The Cher Valley, with its rich history, has been a witness to many thriving vineyards. Well-suited to winegrowing due to its hygrometry and land forms, the region has been home to vineyards since the first century AD. In the Middle Ages, vineyard acreage grew commensurately with the reputation of the wines. The present-day Cher Valley offers a superb viticultural heritage and gorgeous countryside where the top chateaux, wooded estates and characterful vineyards live side by side.
