> The Reuilly vineyard <
Straddling the Indre and Cher departments, Reuilly's AOC vineyards cover some 200 hectares, spread over the slopes and terraces of the Arnon, a tributary of the Cher between Vierzon and Issoudun. The grape varieties grown are Sauvignon for the white wines, and Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris for the reds and rosés. A special grey wine is also produced at Reuilly, using Pinot gris grapes. The various aromatic nuances are determined, among other things, by climatic factors and the winemaker's know-how. Added to this is the geological nature of the land on which the vines grow.
> A hillside linked to a fault ? <
In the Indre region, vines flourish on ancient Ar-non river terraces formed during the Quaternary and staggered in altitude, the oldest being the highest. Now situated several dozen meters above the river, these terraces are composed of a mixture of 3 components.
They bear witness to the river's embankment as a result of the lowering of sea levels, the surrection of the Massif Central and climatic changes linked to periods of glaciation and deglaciation in the Quaternary. The Arnon follows a north-south fault.

Geological map of Reuilly with its fault line
It lowers the eastern section by around 15 metres in relation to the Reuilly section to the west. This accident is linked to the numerous basement faults dotted around the region, which may have been replayed at different times: possibly in the Jurassic, then in the Cenomanian and a final movement in the Quaternary, which still marks the area today. The vines grow on medium-slope Kimmeridgian limestone marl.
+ Additional info: They produce dry, fruity white wines, and reds with notes of red fruit and a hint of pepper, aged for 3 to 5 years. Grey wines are Reuilly's great specialty. Their pale pink color seduces at first sight, and their delicate white peach aroma charms from the very first glass, making them the perfect accompaniment to Easter pùté and Lumas fricassee!
