Château Gaudrelle

Château Gaudrelle is a Vouvray wine producer whose visitor contact is in Rochecorbon, beside the Loire near Tours. The estate’s technical and wine information identifies Chenin Blanc and soils that include clay-limestone and clay-siliceous ground. Its range includes different expressions of Vouvray, and its account of older vintages emphasises the capacity of Chenin to develop with age. The historic château bearing the Gaudrelle name is at Vouvray; it should not be confused with the producer’s current visitor reception in Rochecorbon. The image of that historic building is therefore labelled with its location. A wine visit should be arranged with the producer using the current official contact details.

The most useful focus is the grape and the passage of time. Comparing styles or vintages can connect a discussion of cultivation with the decisions made in the cellar. Keeping the historic house separate from the present reception also helps the visitor understand what kind of experience is actually being offered.
