WINE MAKING PROCESS
Château de Gaudou Renaissance is produced from 100% Malbec grapes grown on gravel soils. Following harvest, the wine undergoes an 18-month aging process in new oak barrels. This extended maturation in oak is a key technique employed to develop the wine's character and integrate its components. The winemaking philosophy at Château de Gaudou, guided by Fabrice Durou, emphasizes creating wines that foster emotion and sharing, while also adhering to sustainable agricultural practices, with the estate currently in conversion to organic farming.
