A historical & family-run vineyard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ch\u00e2teau de la Grange Barbastre, also known as Ch\u00e2teau de la Grange, in Corcou\u00e9 sur Logne (Loire Atlantique), was built in the 15th century by Jean Barbastre, Seigneur de la Grange. The estate belonged to the Barbastre family up to the late 16th century then was bought by the Goulaine family in 1777. After being destroyed during the French Wars of Religion then rebuilt in the 17th century and extended in the 19th century, the ch\u00e2teau was demolished again in the 20th century on the request of its owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The buildings were rebuilt in a new style. Today, on entering the courtyard through the attractive 15th-century porchway, you will see a superb house in the Poitevin style. This house is surrounded on one side by the moat of the former castle and on the other by its 15th and 17th century outbuildings which today house the winery.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Who are we?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Winemaking is a tradition that has subsisted for centuries at Ch\u00e2teau de la Grange Barbastre. Ancient records mention the cultivation of vines at the estate as far back as the 15th century.

Baudouin de Goulaine arrived at the estate in 1978 when his cousin, the Marquis de Goulaine, invited him to come to work with him. Baudouin didn\u2019t hesitate for a second: \u201cI\u2019d studied economics but I dreamt of land!\u201d In 1981, Baudouin took over ownership of this magnificent estate and expanded it to include 50 hectares of vines. His son Victor joined him in the business in 2017. Winegrowers at heart, the father and son team ran the family wine estate together in perfect keeping with tradition, applying the utmost care in the vineyard, the winery and at bottling, to obtain the very best results out of each harvest.

In late 2020, Baudouin retired and Victor de Goulaine now runs the estate by himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
