This is one of the oldest vineyards in Anjou, with evidence dating back to 1219. It’s been in the Cailleau family since 1891, with Xavier and his wife, Géraldine, representing the fifth generation. The château and its vines sit alone close to the pretty hamlet of Blaison-Gohier, which literally straddles the tectonic plate that divides ‘black’ Anjou from ‘white’ Anjou, on the Loire’s south bank. Following the difficult years of the 1950s, the family stopped producing its own wines and delivered the grapes to one of the co-operatives and diversified by planting orchards. It was not until 1991 that Xavier took the decision to re-open the cellar and take charge of the winemaking once more. At that time, there were 22 hectares of vines and equal amounts of orchards. Xavier adopted organic principles from the start, although only decided to move towards certification in 2006. Today, the vineyards are split between two core villages, the original plantings around the château and parcels since acquired around Faye d’Anjou in the Layon.
