The Glotin family has been producing wines in Entre Deux Mers since 1930, when they acquired XXVIIIth century Château Goudichaud. One of the first female winemakers, Henriette Glotin, devoted herself passionately to her family domaine. Sprawled over 120 ha of vineyards, forests and grasslands, this family estate is protected by nature evolving with respect for the terroir. The terroir is very diverse from one side to the other of the estate - but a central plateau with some exposed limestone gives way to gravelly hillsides on either side - which help enhance fruit ripeness and roundness. 

 

Today, her grandson Yves runs Goudichaud in the same spirit of respect for the traditions that followed before, now producing 5 labels of very great wine. Haut Bessac, their first label, produces wines of finesse that are accessible to everyone.
