CHATEAU LOUPIAC-GAUDIET

The average age of the vineyard is 40 years old and covers an area of 28 hectares well exposed to the south with a grape variety composed of 90% Semillion and 10% Sauvignon on a clayey-limestone soil. The particular climate of our region with its morning mists and sunny afternoons in autumn allow the development of "Botrytis Cinerea". The whole produces a wine that under a beautiful golden color is fine, smooth and very fruity. The grapes are picked by hand, in the traditional way, by successive selections as soon as Botrytis Cinerea appears. The whole is then carefully vinified by Daniel Sanfourche in a culture that combines traditional techniques and modern processes.

Our story

It was in 1919 that Mr. Ducau's grandfather, who had already owned Château Pontac in Loupiac since 1873, bought Château De Loupiac, renamed Château Loupiac-Gaudiet. Gaudiet being the name of the vineyard plot behind the Château. Marc Ducau took over in 1964, followed by Daniel and Marie Laurence Sanfourche in 1986. In 2014, it is my turn to join my parents to make the family business last.
