Chinon rouge

The origins of Château de La Grille date back to the 15th and 16th centuries. It was transformed and renovated in the early 19th century in the “troubadour” style by Marquis Gustave de Cougny. During this time, the wine from La Grille became the benchmark for quality in Chinon/gained renown for its quality in Chinon. In 1951, Albert GOSSET, from a long line of Champagne winemakers, acquired and expanded the property, turning it into a state-of-the-art winegrowing and winemaking facility. Since 2009, revitalized by Christophe Baudry and Jean-Martin Dutour, it has regained its brilliance, and both the location and vineyard uphold their reputation as the “Exception of Chinon”.
