Paris (Charles de Gaulle) direct to nearby chateaux/wine country?

I am arriving in August in Paris (Charles de Gaulle) and would like to
take a train directly to see a vineyard for one night, then return to
the airport to pick up my wife and proceed into Paris.

Any ideas for a nice, easy-to-reach vineyard close to Charles de
Gaulle, via train or bus. Approx. 1.5 hour travel max for me (as I
will be flying in from Montreal and will be somewhat tired).

Thanks!

Maybe Reims/Eperney in the Champagne region?

With the exception of some tiny vineyards like the one
in Montmartre

I doubt you will find "nice" vineyards less than 1.5 hours
from Paris Charles-de-Gaule airport.

The nearest major vine producing areas are Champagne, Loire
and Bourgogne some 1:11 (for Paris-Est - Epernay) to more
than 2 hours but from the respective train station in Paris
to a major city (using TGV or other fast trains)
http://vin-de-france.net/vdf/carte_france/index.html

A few fast trains start at Charles-De-Gaule airport railway
station directly to Bordeaux for example (but 4 hours)
or with only one or two train changes to cities in major
wine-producing regions - but take mostly more than 2 hours.

And then you will probably have to commute to smaller
villages using regional train or bus service (or better
rent a car).

IMHO you better extend the travel range to 4 hours .....

if you like travel by TGV, try the north west of france.
Mont st Michel, Cancale(oisters), St malo. brittany is the capital of the cider
