...Even better is the slightly richer, more honey and lemon-scented and flavored non-vintage Cremant de Loire. A blend of equal parts Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay aged for a minimum of 18 to 24 months in their cellars before disgorgement, this is a real beauty and a superb wine. Unfortunately, just under 100 cases are imported to the United States.
Chateau Gaudrelle is a family-size vineyard created in 1931 on the right bank of the Loire, between Tours and Amboise. The domain acquired its notoriety thanks to the richness of its terroir, its conversion to organic farming (2017) and the attention they pay to create their wines.
Specialist of Chenin Blanc, they offer the entire range of white wine, from the driest to the sweetest. Each wine has a very particular identity and taste, thanks to the plot’s soil type and the chosen winemaking method. The sparkling wines are very expressive, fresh and full of fruit flavors. The choice to carry with a very long aging creates very fine and delicate bubbles on these cuvées. For the still wines, they are as aromatic as easy to drink, all occasions are good to open a bottle of Chateau Gaudrelle!
If you come to the estate, they will be more than happy to give you a tour of the troglodyte cellars and of course a tasting of their Vouvray wines. The philosophy of this team of 7 people is to work in harmony with the nature and share its passion.
