CHATEAU GUIPIERE - AOP MUSCADET
Chateau Guipière exists since 1948, our 25 hectares terroir is planted with 3 different grape varieties that make Château Guipière as rich and valuable as it is.
Since the end of 2015, Château Guipière is the property of Philippe NEVOUX and Nicolas ROUTHIAU. The cultivation of the vine is ensured by Stéphane GOURAUD
Located at the mouth of the Loire river, the vineyard of Nantes region is a rare combination of terroirs.
Coming from Hercynian metamorphic formations (-400 million years), the Armorican massif extends to the region of Vendée. The subsoil of our region consists of eruptive rocks (gabbro-granite) and metamorphic rocks (gneiss-schist-amphibolite).
La Guipière is based on parent rocks of mica schist or amphibolite in a disintegrating phase. The subsoil helps the vines rooting and a natural soil drainage. The land is wholesome, filtering and therefore ideally suited to the plantation of the vine. The area is mainly planted with Melon de Bourgogne, Folle Blanche and Gamay grapes.
The wines are characterized by a certain earliness, a great finesse, a beautiful minerality and will develop a good evolution.
