Ch\u00e2teau de la Pierre <\/strong>– a historic pilgrimage route in France<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The Ch\u00e2teau de la Pierre<\/strong> was built in 1726 and is a former residence on the pilgrimage route to Compostela<\/strong><\/a> through France. At that time, the slopes of the ch\u00e2teau were used for cereal cultivation and were transformed into vineyards at the beginning of the 20th century. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2007<\/strong>, Jerome Choblet has acquired the vineyards<\/strong> and transformed these most beautiful slopes mainly planted with Melon de Bourgogne<\/a> and Grolleau Gris<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong> Since then, the surrounding nature has greatly improved its culture in a preserved and privileged environment.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
