Chateau de Petit Thouars
We went wine tasting. We drove over to the Chateau of Petit Thouars which is above the town of Saint Germain along the road that goes to Chinon. We met with the owner's son, Sebastian, who gave us a tasting tour of their rosés and reds. All of their wines are Chinons. We sampled their 2005 Reserve and 2008 and 2009 reds. We likeded them.
Sebastian told us about a recent trip he made to the US to promote the family's wines. He said he went to a big food and wine expo in Los Angeles but there wasn't much interest in the product in California. However, he did sell 2500 cases in Colorado.
