Chateau Gaudou

Château Gaudou. Fabrice, the last descendant of the Durou family, inherited 35 hectares of gently sloping Graves and clay on the third terraces of the Lot valley. Through a tradition bedded in modernism and the mastering of the vine’s vegetative cycle, he has crafted an exceptional vintage. Fabrice embodies the rebirth of the Château Gaudou label. The Réserve Caillau cuvée 100% Malbec, its premier wine, is very carefully handled, a fine wine for laying down, with silky tannins and smoky liquorice notes. For the record, Fabrice offered and planted some vines within the setting of the Bretonneau hospital in Paris, showcasing the therapeutic benefits of working the vines. www.chateaudegaudou.com
