The Chateau des Cosse is nicknamed the 'Giant of the Loire Valley.' The highest castle in France was built in the 11th century. Acquired in 1502 by the Cosse de Brissac family, the castle now shines in the heart of Anjou. The vineyard has been on the family's land since the construction of the Chateau. The Cosse de Brissac family has entrusted the vineyard to the Caves de la Loire, renowned for their know-how in the Loire Valley.
