Origin and history

The Pressoir de La Charité-sur-Loire is a historic monument located in the city of La Charité-sur-Loire, Burgundy-Franche-Comté. Built in the first quarter of the 16th century, it is a typical example of the wine production facilities of the period. This type of structure was essential for local economic life, allowing the transformation of grapes into wine, a major activity in the region.

The press is partially protected, with its door inscribed as a historical monument by order of 12 October 1929. This official recognition underscores its heritage importance. Although information on its precise use or possible owners is scarce, its existence reflects the social and economic organization of Burgundy in the Renaissance, where viticulture was central to rural and urban activities.
