History

 

According to research a Historian amateu r: Mr. Legeais, Our family has been of tradition vigneronne for more than three centuries on the commune of Chavagnes Water.

A text of 1775 currently in our possession describes us the goods of one of our ancestors Jean GUIBERT after are death: one was of drank, one was of quarter, 2 small vats, a section, a bill hook has to cut the vine….

The vines were transmitted generations in generations always on the Commune of Chavagnes Water.

The lords of the castle of Thousand exploited the vines of the Field of Richères, which is located just in edge of the walls of this castle.
