Three Generations of Passion, Awakening the Essence of Touraine: Domaine de la Renaudie
Located in Mareuil-sur-Cher in the Loire Valley of France, Domaine de la Renaudie is a family-owned winery established in 1976 by Albert Denis. His sons, Jacques and Bruno, and now his granddaughter Charlotte Denis—the third generation—continue to inherit and preserve the family tradition alongside their parents. As pioneers of 'Touraine Chenonceaux,' the representative appellation of the region, they are a highly trusted domaine that reliably produces around 250,000 bottles of high-quality wine annually, rooted in a philosophy that respects nature and their family identity.
A Microclimate Shaped by the Cher River and Three Gem-like Soils
Influenced by the Cher River flowing along gentle hills, this region forms a mild microclimate that allows the grapes to mature stably. The soil is a classic Loire terroir, featuring a blend of siliceous clay, flint, and limestone. Thanks to the gravel and flint elements that trap the hot sunshine during the day, combined with the clay structure that radiates warmth throughout the night, the vines absorb deep nutrients, allowing the grapes to develop perfect sweetness and rich flavors even in a cool climate.
A Sophisticated Lineup Alive with Clean Acidity and Mineralities
Thanks to this unique soil, the representative grape variety, Sauvignon Blanc, moves beyond sharp grassy notes to boast delicate floral aromas and a lively, palate-cleansing acidity. The mineral components within the soil are fully integrated into the wine, showcasing a clean, sophisticated minerality instead of excessive heaviness. The product lineup consists of a diverse and well-balanced selection of styles, ranging from the casual, daily-enjoyable Classics to the Chenonceaux harvested from specific parcels for a deeper flavor profile, and the signature Cot wines crafted in honor of the founder.
