The geographical area of the Valençay AOC comprises fourteen communes in the north of the Indre department, and one commune in the Loir et Cher department: Selles-sur-Cher. Valençay has been an AOC since November 2003. The Valençay appellation area, covering some 140 hectares, is centered around the Gâtine forest and the small town of Valençay, whose château, built in the 16th century and subsequently owned by the Prince de Talleyrand, has played an important role in local history. The defined terroir extends mainly along the edges of plateaus and hillsides, on the Senonian and Eocene formations that border the streams of the Boischaut nord berrichon. Flinty clay dominates.
