A48687NBO41 - Established Vineyard Estate for Sale in the Loire Valley, France – 47 Hectares of Vines

An excellent opportunity to acquire an established, operational vineyard estate in the heart of the Touraine wine region of the Loire Valley. The property comprises 47 hectares of vines, plus an additional 3 hectares of agricultural land and woodland, giving a total estate area of approximately 50 hectares. The property also benefits from a range of buildings offering potential for the continuation and development of the wine-growing business.

The vineyard is currently in production and offers an attractive opportunity for an established wine producer looking to expand, a professional wishing to relocate or establish a wine business in France, or an investor interested in acquiring an existing vineyard operation.

One of the estate's major advantages is the layout of the vineyard. All 47 hectares of vines are grouped together in one location, forming a continuous block rather than being scattered across different areas. This is a considerable practical benefit, making vineyard management, access and day-to-day cultivation much more straightforward and efficient.

Wine Appellations and Grape Varieties

The vineyard produces under several recognised French wine appellations and classifications:
AOC Touraine Chenonceaux
Crémant de Loire
IGP Vin de Pays

The diversity of grape varieties offers scope for varied wine production, catering to different markets and commercial opportunities.

Approximate breakdown of grape varieties (47 hectares in total):

Chenin Blanc: approximately 2 hectares
Cabernet: approximately 5.5 hectares
Sauvignon Blanc: approximately 22 hectares
Sauvignon Gris: approximately 3.7 hectares
Chardonnay / Pinot Noir: approximately 10.5 hectares
Malbec: approximately 2 hectares

(Please note that individual surface areas are approximate.)

Buildings and Estate Infrastructure

In addition to the operational vineyard, the estate includes several buildings providing useful facilities and potential for the continuation and development of the business:

Staff accommodation: 112 m² of living space, requiring renovation.
Barn: approximately 140 m².
Two large interconnected wine cellars: approximately 300 m² each.
Agricultural storage building: approximately 300 m², with an insulated roof.

Winemaking Facilities – Rental Opportunity :

Please note that the winery building (known in France as a chai), where the winemaking and production facilities are located, is not included in the sale.

However, there is the possibility of renting the current owner's winery facilities, situated approximately 20 minutes from the vineyard. This could provide a practical solution for a purchaser wishing to continue wine production without the immediate need to invest in their own winemaking premises and equipment.

An Established French Vineyard Business with Potential for Growth

With 47 hectares of vines currently under cultivation, an additional 3 hectares of agricultural land and woodland, several recognised wine appellations, a diverse range of grape varieties and existing agricultural infrastructure, this vineyard estate represents an interesting opportunity for a wine producer looking to acquire an established operation, an existing vineyard owner wishing to expand, or an investor seeking a foothold in the French wine industry.
