Product Description

Region : The Château de Passavant was built in the 12th Century by Foulques Nerra, powerful lord of the Middle Ages, Third Count of Anjou, and principle founder of this great province. Known for his wild character, his boldness in war and his brutal yet chivalrous nature, he was one of the most remarkable men of his time.

He fortified the all Anjou region with 27 castles and fortresses. One of these was the fortified “castle Passavant”, which constituted the southern line of his defense. This exceptional site looking over the Layon River was first known for its strategic and military importance, then developed a viticultural vocation through the ages.
