Domaine du Château de Targé in Parnay

The Château de Targé estate boasts an exceptional site in the heart of the Saumur-Champigny AOC. The château and cellars are carved out of the tufa rock on a hillside facing the Loire, between Montsoreau and Saumur, just a few kilometres from the Isle Verte campsite. The vineyards stretch out above the château, on the Parnay plateau. Tasting the delicious wines produced by Paul Pisani, the estate’s winemaker, will give you the chance to discover this special place.

The Château de Targé estate lies in the commune of Parnay. You can get there by car, but also by bike. Château de Targé is just 3 km from the Isle Verte campsite in Montsoreau. During your visit, you are likely to be greeted by Edouard Pisani. Paul’s father managed the estate from 1976 to 2016, before passing it on to his son Paul. Although he no longer works in the vineyards, he is delighted to share his passion with the customers who come to taste the wines of Château de Targé.
