Château Loudenne is a very old estate with over 350 years of history. The pink château dates back to 1670. Château Loudenne became nationally known through two Britons, Alfred and Walter Gilbey, who owned the estate from 1875. They exported the wine to England and from there all over the world, which contributed significantly to Loudenne's good reputation.
Since 2013, the winery has belonged to the Cognachhaus CAMUS and the Chinese spirits group MOUTAI. Since then, a lot has been invested in the quality of the wine and you can clearly see that in the wines from Château Loudenne. Today it is one of the best red wines in the AOC Médoc, and there is also a really enchanting white wine that is in no way inferior to the red in terms of quality.
Château Loudenne is located north of Saint-Estèphe in the AOP Médoc. The vines are in close proximity to the Gironde. A saying in the Médoc states: "There is no great terroir that does not face the river". The Gironde ensures a mild climate and protects against spring frosts. In summer the river cools the vines.
Of the 62 hectares of vineyards, 48 are planted with red vines. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot account for almost the same proportion of this, with Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot each accounting for two percent. There are fourteen hectares of white vines, 75% Sauvignon Blanc and 25% Sémillon. The entire vineyard area of Chateau Loudenne is currently being converted to organic cultivation.
