The Domaine du Chapitre is a vineyard managed by siblings Maryline and François DESLOGES. The vineyard is based in Saint Romain sur Cher (Loir and Cher) in the Loire Valley area and was founded at the beginning of the XIX century by their ancestors. At that period of time, farmers used to cultivate cereals, raise cattle, and plant vines for local consumption.

The Domaine du Chapitre manages 28 hectares of vines (15-45 year old vines) in two AOP: Touraine and Touraine Chenonceaux, both on the bank of the Cher river. The terroir is comprised of different soil types amongst the three towns where the vineyards are planted (Saint Romain sur Cher, Saint Aignan, et Noyers sur Cher). Sand with flint is dominant near the Cher river while clay and limestone is found further North. The vineyards are at an altitude of 120m with an oceanic climate influence and cooling winds coming from the west.
