"Chateau Gaudrelle estate is lead with organic farming methods. In 2021, we have also started implementing biodynamic standards in the vineyard. Those technical and lengthy transformations are part of our ongoing process of adjusting to our environment and enhancing the characteristics of our “terroir”.

In the heart of the Loire Valley, our estate farms about 16 hectares (40 acres) of vines and produces Vouvray white wines from the Chenin Blanc grape.

As an organic-certified estate, we encourage biodiversity and we bring life back to the ground by working the soils. In order to not stamp them down, we also use the animal traction with a horse in the plot “Clos le Vigneau”.

In the cellar, we limit the inputs in our wines. The harvest is 100% manual. Everything is done in order to produce expressive white wines to give you more pleasure."
