When she married François de Reugny in 1602, she became Dame de Favray. Her tombstone and effigy are preserved in the chapel of a neighbouring village. It was probably during this period that the Château Favray vineyard first flourished. A magnificient eighteenth century press testifies to the thriving winemaking activity of numerous generations. Unfortunately the arrival of phylloxera at the end of the nineteenth century cruelly damaged our region’s vineyard. In 1980, Quentin David decided to bring the winemaking vocation back to life at Château Favray.

Jean and Ginette Thomas now run this impeccable estate. Both sides of Jean’s family have been growers and winemakers in Sancerre for more than ten generations. Just behind their house is the magnificent Terre Blanche vineyard with vines between 50 and 70 years old where the best of the best Sancerre of Domaine Thomas are from.
