Producer Information

Clos du Gaimont is a parcel of the esteemed Clos de Nouys vineyard, which is situated on one plot of premium land in the heart of Vouvray. Vouvray is one of the oldest terroirs in France, located on the east side of Tours. This wine is produced from trellised Chenin Blanc vines that average 30 years of age, receive south-southwest exposure and are set in clay limestone soil. The vineyards are managed according to an ecofriendly, sustainable philosophy. There is minimal weeding and regular scrutiny of the state of the vines in order to determine when the best time to apply a treatment is. François Chainier, whose family has been working in wine since the mid 18th century, purchased Clos du Gaimont’s vineyards from a Bordeaux wine negotiant in 1997. The Chainier family have become pioneers in sustainable farming and are among the first in the area to employ green practices. Vineyards are maintained according to a sustainable agriculture philosophy, keeping the overall ecosystem in mind. The Chenin Blanc grapes are hand harvested with great care taken from vineyard to cellar.
