Located in Corcoué-sur-Logne, Loire-Atlantique, the Château de la Grange Barbastre, also known as the Château de la Grange, was built in the 15th century by Jean Barbastre, Lord of La Grange. It belonged to the Barbastre family until the end of the 16th century, and in 1777, the property was acquired by the Goulaine family. Destroyed during the Wars of Religion, then rebuilt in the 17th century and enlarged in the 19th century, the Château was demolished again in the 20th century at the behest of its owners.
A long winemaking tradition has endured at Château de la Grange Barbastre for centuries. Ancient writings attest to the cultivation of vines on the estate as early as the 15th century.
Baudouin de Goulaine arrived at the estate in 1978 when his cousin, the Marquis de Goulaine, offered him a position. Baudouin didn't hesitate for a second: "I studied economics, but I dreamed of the land!" In 1981, Baudouin took over this magnificent estate and expanded it to 50 hectares of vines. His son, Victor, joined him in 2017. Winemakers at heart, they work together, in the purest family and winemaking tradition, to manage the estate and carry out the cultivation, winemaking, and bottling processes with the utmost care, striving to offer the very best of their work with each harvest. At the end of 2020 Baudouin retired and Victor de Goulaine then took over the operation of the estate alone.
Château de la Grange has practiced sustainable vineyard cultivation for the past 10 years. They are committed to minimizing the use of pesticides, and commissioned an audit from an independent organization to obtain "High Environmental Value" certification.
Furthermore, committed to respecting animal life, LaGrange does not use any animal products in the winemaking process.

Muscadet is a bellwether of climate change, with most tasted in recent years showing more ripeness that I am trained to expect. This is a shiny bright, pale lemon shaded example that captures more complexity and depth than expected at the price. The nose shows generous pear, lemon zest and tarragon, with signature Muscadet briny minerality. It is medium bodied, with brisk acidity and loads of fruit and warmth. Slightly bitter lemon on the finish. Excellent length. Chill well. Tasted November 2025
