About the Winery:
Château de la Grange, nestled in the Loire Valley's Côtes de Grandlieu AOC, boasts a rich winemaking heritage dating back to the 15th century. The Goulaine family has been the steward of this 123-acre vineyard since 1777, with Baudouin Goulaine and his son Victor currently at the helm. Their proximity to GrandLieu lake and the Atlantic Ocean creates a unique microclimate, allowing for earlier grape maturation compared to other Muscadet regions.
