The Godeau story: a family of winegrowers
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.
With our7 different grape varieties,we have a wine to suit every palate. From the very outskirts of Château de Chenonceau, you’ll be able to see what we do.we work the vines and wines for our illustrious neighbour.

Description
Manual or mechanical harvesting?
Both have their advantages and disadvantages… By hand-picking, we of course have the enormous advantage of selecting the grapes in the vineyard and being able to carry them carefully to the winery: not a single leaf, not a single immature bunch will end up in the wine!
On the other hand, the final quality of the wine varies greatly depending on when it is harvested! Thanks to the machine, the Sauvignons can be harvested quickly when they are perfectly ripe, and also during the night to capture certain aromas that disappear as soon as the sun rises…
This is a dry white that is lively and full of aromas. Ideal as an aperitif, it also reveals its full flavour when served with fish and shellfish.
