Château Gaillard

Château Gaillard Estate: the biodynamic soul of Touraine-Mesland

Located in Mesland, on the peaceful banks of the Loire River , Domaine Château Gaillard has embodied a demanding and respectful vision of wine for over forty years. In 1978, Vincent Girault took over the reins of this historic property and initiated a pioneering transition to biodynamic agriculture, which was Demeter certified in 1992. A rare commitment at the time, which still shapes the deep identity of its wines today.

Biodynamic viticulture to reveal Touraine in a different way

On approximately 32 hectares of vines , Vincent Girault cultivates a delicate balance between terroir and life. Here, there are no herbicides or chemical inputs : the soils are worked gently, in step with the seasons and lunar cycles. Chenin, Chardonnay, Gamay, Côt, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon flourish here, giving rise to vibrant vintages, full of energy and elegance.

Sincere Loire wines, between precision and indulgence

In the winery, vinification favors natural fermentation and minimal intervention, with absolute respect for the grape. Château Gaillard offers an expressive range of reds, whites , and Crémants de Loire, at once refined, authentic, and bearing a true Loire signature. Each bottle tells the story of this unspoiled nature, this discreet yet powerful terroir that whispers to those who listen.

Château Gaillard: an essential estate for lovers of vibrant wines

Whether for a glass of vibrant Chenin , a fresh and easy-drinking red, or a delicately crafted Crémant de Loire , Domaine Château Gaillard has established itself today as one of the most inspiring addresses in Touraine-Mesland. A precise, sincere work that gives pride of place to the emotion of living wine.
