Château Loudenne – AOC Médoc

Château Loudenne, the famous "Pink Château" of the Médoc, is one of the oldest vineyards in the region, shaped by over 350 years of history. Since 2022, the estate has returned to its French roots under the leadership of the Gouache family (already owners of Château Bellerive since 2018), who are bringing a new wave of innovation while respecting the site's historical heritage.

A heritage between vineyard and estuary

Built in 1670, this typical Médoc-style Carthusian monastery overlooks the Gironde estuary. The estate is distinguished by:
– A unique private port: a witness to a past when wine already travelled by sea.
– The Victorian Wine Cellar: built in the 19th century under the influence of the Gilbey brothers, British merchants who made Loudenne an internationally recognized brand.
– An exceptional setting: an English-style park famous for its collection of old roses, surrounding a 62-hectare vineyard ideally situated on two gravelly hillocks.
Innovation and Sustainable Viticulture

Under the management of the Gouache family, Loudenne has become a true winemaking laboratory, combining tradition and modernity:

Certifications: the estate is certified in Organic Agriculture (AB) and HVE level 4, and adheres to the Natura 2000 charter.
Innovative practices: use of autonomous electric equipment, full plot vinification and aging in amphorae or ovoid tanks.
New range: in addition to its historical vintages (red, white and rosé), the château now offers varietal wines (Merlot without sulfites, Malbec, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Franc…).

A complete wine tourism experience

A major player in wine tourism, Château Loudenne now offers one of the richest offerings in the Médoc:

– Tours and tastings: open all year round
– Leisure activities: traditional and chic picnics in the park, bike rides in the vineyards and cruises on the estuary on board the estate's private boat (12 seats).
– Charming accommodation: cabins nestled in the wooded park, just steps from the estuary, offer total immersion. These three fully equipped rooms (kitchen, terrace, fireplace) are open year-round.
