Explore the Bourgueil vineyard and find its main producers and wine estates on the map

The Bourgueil vineyard is located in the Loire Valley wine region, more precisely in the department of Indre-et-Loire. This wine-growing region mainly produces red wines, made from the Cabernet Franc grape variety, which are appreciated for their fruitiness and elegance.

Bourgueil is one of the best-known protected designations of origin (AOP) in the region, with more than 150 producers (many of them are on the map). The terroir is particularly suited to the production of red wines, thanks to its clay-limestone soil and a temperate climate.

The history of Bourgueil dates back to the Gallo-Roman era, but it was in the Middle Ages that the town acquired a certain notoriety thanks to its wine production. Today, Bourgueil is a popular destination for wine lovers who can discover the different facets of the appellation there.

Among the most renowned producers of the appellation, we can mention the Domaine de la Chevalerie, Frédéric Mabileau, or the Domaine de la Butte. Each of them offers different wines, with characteristics specific to their region.

Bourgueil

The Bourgueil AOC appellation mainly produces red wines (and a very small amount of rosé wines). Two styles of wine coexist in the Bourgueil appellation : on one side the fruity and lighter red wines produced on the gravel along the banks of the Loire, and on the other, what is referred to as "tufa wines", more tannic, complex and full-bodied. The latter are usually produced from the vines located on the hillsides of Bourgueil. The Bourgueil AOC appellation (by the way, AOC and AOP are synonyms) was created in 1937, and today brings together more than 120 wineries spread over a vineyard of 1,400 hectares.
