Château d'Usse

(Had to cut and paste that title) At the winery the wine server asked us about our plans for the day. When we told him we were driving along the Loire river to see chateaus he was very eager to direct us to this particular one. My Michelin guide doesn't tell of much history associated with the place but it is interesting to read that one of the earliest owners was the King's cupbearer. The job seems to have paid well back in the day.
