Family business Gibault

The beautiful family story of the Gibault winery begins in the early 1900s. Initially a cattle ranching family, over the generations the family has focused on the work of the vine. By the 1980s, they were devoting themselves full-time to winemaking. The focus is on fragrant wines with a bouquet of fruit and flowers. Today, Pascal Gibault is at the helm, assisted by his wife and brother. The vineyards encompass approximately 18 hectares along the banks of the Cher River. By far the largest number of hectares are planted with the Sauvignon Blanc grape, from which Pascal has mastered the art of producing perfect white wines. The grapes are selectively harvested, with only the finest grapes considered good enough for winemaking. The fruit's ripeness and health are assessed before being pressed. Therefore, a strict selection process is also conducted in the winery itself. This is followed by a lengthy vinification process at a low temperature. After temperature-controlled fermentation, aging takes place on the fine lees.
