Château Loudenne

-Established in 1875. The château, known locally as a chartreuse was built in 1670 by a noble family from Bordeaux. Due to the colour of its walls it is known in the Médoc as “THE Pink Château”. The vineyard however dates back much further than the property. Its existence is attested to in the XIII century by the presence of monks from the religious community of the Abbey of Isle. Indeed it is probable that the vineyard has existed since the 1st century, introduced by the Romans, as indicated by the ruins of a Gallo-Roman villa.
--Estate represents 132 hectares of which 62 are planted with vines, the remainder being salt meadows dedicated to livestock and classified “Natura 2000”.
-Varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, 46% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 2% newly planted Petit-Verdot, 75% Sauvignon Blanc and 25% Semillon
