During our cruise we visit the local vineyard of the Meriau family, to taste the regional Touraine vintages. The Vignoble des Bois Vaudons has been run by the Mérieau Family for four generations.

The estate spreads over 35 hectares across the hillsides and on the left bank of the Cher River and benefit for the greater part from a south-southeast orientation. These rich and complex soils allow the production of a range of wines that are varied and rich in colours. Some wines stemming from older or younger vines – certain vines of the Pineau d’Aunis varietal are more than 100 years old.
