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.

Description
It is made from the ripest Sauvignon Blanc grapes. Ageing on the lees gives it a lovely roundness on the palate, reinforcing its yellow fruit and citrus aromas.
Ageing on lees.
After alcoholic fermentation, the yeasts die and settle to the bottom of the tank, forming what are known as lees. Little by little, these dead cells disintegrate, releasing molecules into the wine that give it volume and fatness to support the fruitiness!
Attractive pale color with green and golden highlights.
The nose is immediately seductive with its finesse, freshness and complexity. The dominant aroma is fruity, with a base of citrus and white fruits.
The palate is characterized by a balance between volume and freshness, with an omnipresent aromatic accompaniment (citrus, then blackcurrant and candied citrus on the finish).
