Organic vineyard and abbey garden in Bourgueil

Yesterday, after visiting the abbey, we visited an enclosed (by walls) vineyard of 7 Ha just next door to the abbey. In fact, this area used to be part of the abbey in the past.

The vine they are growing there is Cabernet Franc. Some of the vine plants are about one century old.
The owners of the vineyard converted into organic in 1998.

Here are some photos :

We visited the cave after the vineyard... Very interesting. We could taste a few wines and I loved their wine of 2008 (this is red wine). The bottles on the photo are much older.

Then, we went to the abbey garden. It was the end of the afternoon and the light was a dream.

See yourselves!
