It is actually a castle under which a complete fortress was dug out of the rocks. This was for protection against invasions such as those by the Vikings. It has one of the deepest dry moats in Europe. Under the castle, there are 3 km of tunnels and rooms. These were among the first known protection bunkers in history. They house historical bakeries, stables, dormitories, kitchens, a barrel room, and even a silkworm farm. For that alone, it is definitely worth a visit. The above-ground castle is built in a beautiful neo-Gothic architectural style. The current owners, the Count and Countess of Colbert, are still restoring it. With Vignobles Colbert, they produce a range of equally magnificent wines under the Saumur Champigny appellation. Thus, Château de Brézé is one of the major attractions of the region. The vineyards stretch around the estate and are among the best in Saumur.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eBeautiful, glossy garnet red colour. Lively and lightly complex nose. Red and black fruits burst from the glass. A fairly pure and juicy expression of this characteristic grape. On the palate, its spicy character comes through a bit more, but it remains primarily fresh and fruity. The finish is medium-long, confirming its elegant and balanced qualities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"lead pairing\"\u003eDelicious with delicate meat dishes such as poultry (roasted pigeon or smoked duck), pork and veal, but also a fine piece of lamb is definitely enjoyable. For enthusiasts: paired with pan-seared foie gras with apples, it's a true delicacy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château de Brézé","offers":[{"title":"6 Bottle Case","offer_id":56710499434827,"sku":"WOLSP12287S","price":115.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 Bottle Case","offer_id":56710499467595,"sku":"WOLSP12288S","price":225.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Single Bottle","offer_id":56710499500363,"sku":"WOLSP12289S","price":25.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0213\/9218\/files\/sams.jpg?v=1772809262","url":"https:\/\/wineonline.ie\/products\/chateau-de-breze-saumur-rouge","provider":"WineOnline","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
