L’histoire des Godeau : une famille de vignerons

It was 145 years ago that our ancestor, Auguste, settled here and began digging in the tufa stone beneath the hillside supporting his vines. Tandis que la plus grande cave était destinée à la production des vins, les autres ont hébergé les vaches, chevaux et cochons. The stones extracted were used to build the house and the farmhouse.

It is in these cellars that 6 generations of our family have passed on their passion for our terroir and wines.

Today, the estate is classified as “High Environmental Value” represents 45 hectares of vines and covers the entire hillside between the villages of Civray-de-Touraine and Chenonceaux.

This reduces acidity and stabilises and softens the wine.
