Domaine de la Racauderie

The Gautier family traces their domaine in Vouvray to
a land deed from 1669. Today, the Domaine de la
Racauderie is run by Jean-Michel Gautier, who makes
traditional Vouvray from the 35-hectare estate. His
extensive underground cellars are carved out of tuffeau limestone, providing perfect natural conditions for the wines. He makes classic dry Vouvray Sec, a racy, off-dry Demi Sec, and when nature permits, the rare Vouvray Moelleux, made from botrytis-infected, late harvest grapes. Also produced on the estate is a
selection of high-quality sparkling wines.
