The history of the vineyard

Combining viticulture, quality and social integration: this is the gamble that Vignobles du Paradis has been taking since 1989 in the heart of the exceptional Chinon terroir. Since then, the terroirs cultivated by the team have expanded with time and opportunity.
Vignobles du Paradis has never stopped investing in its production and vinification tools, in order to offer high-quality AOC Chinon wines and a pleasant, modern working environment for its team.
