Appellation Reuilly
The story of King Dagobert and the Reuilly
The name Reuilly comes from Rulliacus, derived from Rullius. It is the name of a head of a family who lived there during antiquity. At the time of the barbarian invasions he founded the village and his name was used to name one of the Gallo-Roman villas built at that time.
At the beginning of the 7th century, King Dagobert I of the Merovingian dynasty was King of the Franks. He gave a congregation of monks the fields and meadows, as well as the vines that were already growing on the territory of Reuilly. The vineyard was to supply the medieval town of Bourges, as well as the city of Vierzon.
At the end of the 19th century, Reuilly, like the rest of France, was hit by the phylloxera crisis. A handful of local winegrowers resisted and managed to reconstitute the vines, thanks to hard work. The AOC Reuilly is created on 9 September 1937 for white wines. On 24 August 1961, it was the turn of the red and rosé wines to be recognised by an AOC.
The Reuilly area, between the Indre and the Chere
The Reuilly area is located between the Indre and the Cher. It is intersected by an agricultural plateau. The sunny hillsides on the banks of the Arnon and La Théols offer the best conditions for vine growth.
The rare, but delicious wines of Reuilly

The Sauvignon grape that makes it up produces a dry and fruity white wine with a magnificent fullness. The Eye of Reuilly white offers a golden colour, but very pale. Its nose declines lemon flavours that mingle with white fruits. The mouth of the white is particularly long and you enjoy its fruity flavours for a long time.Reuilly white goes very well with poultry, as well as with freshwater fish, especially trout.

Its nose is imbued with red fruit, with cherry dominant always present. The red's aromas are powerful and its supple tannins discreet.The red of Reuilly is wonderful with charcuterie, veal fricassee and rabbit in cream sauce. Very popular with cheese, it has a predilection for goat's cheese.
The Reuilly rosé
As for the rosé, it is called "gris" and represents the speciality of Reuilly. Its very pale colour is easily recognisable and can take on salmon tints. Its delicate aroma is mainly marked by white peach. The "grey" rosé is tender and delicate. The nose of the rosé evokes flavours of apricot and peach.
