Chateau Plessis Brezot
On our way to the Loire valley we visited the Chateau Plessis Brezot where we staid two years ago when the new owners had taken over the vineyards and the wine cellars - but unfortunately had not been able take over the Chateau. On this visit we found out that the previous owners had finally vacated the premises (over 2 years after the sale had been completed) and Luc and his wife could move in & their twin daughters were born in the Chateau just 10 days after our visit.
Luc - who creates wines in the very old traditonal styles without any chemical additions - in the vineyard or the production of the wines - was very pleased to receive us and show off his first creations. He has a small but distinctly different range of wines which he was eager to have us taste and comment on. One stood out and he is particularly proud of - His 2005 Cuvee Romaine has been created in the early Roman style (the land was already planted with vines in the Roman days) with traditional methods as would have been used in those days. We found this wine to VERY interesting and VERY easy to drink.
The other 4 wines he presented for tasting (including a light red and an experimental “Greek” version of the Cuvee Romaine) were also of very high quality - and we finished most of the content of the bottles - this was mainly achieved by Michael and Luc 
and ate much fresh bread and some excellent cheeses etc with it during our 4 hour stay.
Luc’s family has had another addition in the two years since our last visit and we do wish him and his young family all the success he deserves.
