CASTLE OF ETERNITY
Castle in Saix, dating from 889 with a vineyard and cellars dug in the tufa rock, producing famous wines
The first mention of the castle dates from 889. In 1881, General Delaveau moved in and made architectural modifications. Nowadays, the property belongs to the Marteling family, who have reconstituted the vineyard. The 15 hectares of vines benefit from a clay-limestone soil and several forms of intervention - de-budding, de-stemming, leaf removal... Harvesting is done by hand and the cellars are dug in a chalky stone called tuffeau. The result is renowned wines, including the red saumur cabernet-franc - the main grape variety.
