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.

About the Winery
Château Haut-Grelot
Château Haut Grelot is located in Saint Ciers Sur Gironde, approximately 50 kms north of Bordeaux, on the right bank of the Gironde Estuary. It was established by the Bonneau family in 1922 and now run but the 4th Generation. Today Château Haut-Grelot comprises 58 hectares of vineyards and is run by Céline and Julien, who was recently awarded the title 'Best Young Talent' in Bordeaux.
The vineyards are made up of sandy-gravel on the hillsides bordering the Gironde Estuary and sand-clay-silt on the hillsides further inland. Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux benefits from an ideal microclimate where there is a high level of sunshine and enough rain to guarantee the perfect environment for grape production. As a result the reds are fruity and concentrated and the whites are fresh, vibrant and delicate.
Land of Hope
The Land of Hope Trust project started in 2007. Initiated against the background of many “smoke and mirrors” projects purporting to uplift Previously Disadvantaged Individuals (PDI), although very few of which seem to genuinely do so. The direct and sole beneficiaries of this Trust are the previously disadvantaged individual employees of Radford Dale and their children and dependents.
What makes this project unique? Well, the primary objective of the trust is educational. The long-term social upliftment through the gift of high quality education, skills development and the power of developing knowledge. The Trust is making it possible to send Land of Hope employees' children to schools they could only dream about when they were young, which they were not allowed to attend, and which will give the next generation the intellectual ability and the expertise to ensure the positive evolution of our economy their democracy and community.
