In the heart of Anjou Noir, on the terroirs of Chaume, Quarts-de-Chaume, and Savennières, Château de Plaisance is a truly unique place.
Taken over in 2019 by Vanessa Cherruau, the estate—certified organic since 1995 and biodynamic since 2008—has been infused with a new energy. The ambition: to craft honest, vibrant wines that express the purity of Anjou’s great terroirs and the spirit of each vintage.

Chenin Blanc, which represents 80% of the vineyard, thrives on schist, spilite, sandstone, and puddingstone. Mostly vinified as dry wines, the sweet wines are produced only in exceptional years. A few plots of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon also find harmony on spilite soils, much to our delight.

Every gesture in the vineyard is guided by respect for life: soil preservation, careful pruning, meticulous debudding, manual harvesting, and long aging in large casks, barrels, and amphorae.
Here, nature is the first line of protection, the strength of the team is a driving force, and constant self-questioning is the key to striving for excellence. Everything converges toward a single horizon: creating wines capable of conveying genuine emotion.
