The domain's short story
The vineyards of Domaine Nairaud-Suberville, which now cover 21 hectares, are located on the exact boundary between the Paris Basin (sandy-silt) and the Massif Central (metamorphic), in the commune of Châteaumeillant in the south of the Cher department. Domaine Nairaud-Suberville is the largest estate in the Châteaumeillant appellation. Nestled in a green bocage landscape made famous by George Sand, the Châteaumeillant vineyards have undergone a veritable renaissance since obtaining AOC status in 2010. To take advantage of the tremendous diversity of the terroirs, each parcel is now vinified individually, and each Domaine Nairaud-Suberville cuvée bears the name of the parcel from which the grapes came. The geographical and geological particularities of this exceptional terroir make it possible to produce both vin gris and vin rouge cuvées that combine the sweetness of the fruit with the strength and vivacity of the parent rock.
The winemaker's pride
The presence of vines in Chateaumeillant can be traced back to the 6th century. During the Middle Ages, the vineyard expanded considerably, reaching a surface area of 1,200 hectares around 1860. Completely destroyed by phylloxera at the end of the 19th century, it was gradually reconstituted and since 2010 has benefited from recognition as an appellation d'origine contrôlée. Domaine Nairaud Suberville is committed to reconciling tradition and modernity in both vineyard management and winemaking. It is also keen to raise the profile of the Chateaumeillant AOC by developing appropriate sales channels, so that it rubs shoulders with the jewels of French viticulture on the finest tables.xxx
