Fabrice Durou is the seventh generation to continue his family\u2019s winemaking tradition in Cahors. Aware of the importance of his heritage but carried aloft by the wings of youth, young vigneron Fabrice Durou creates wine worthy of Gaudou\u2019s history combining organic farming and meticulous vineyard management with gentle winemaking that emphasizes fruit expression over wood.<\/p>\n
The Gaudou estate sits in Vire-sur-Lot amongst a handful of Cahors\u2019 other most prestigious vineyard addresses \u2013 A mythical location referred to as \u201cThe Beverly Hills of the Cahors Appellation\u201d by critic Michele Bettane. Most vines on the estate are considered \u201cold vine,\u201d some still on original rootstock being planted as far back as the late 1800\u2019s!<\/p>\n
A variety of soil types and exposures within the estate drives complexity in the finished wine, and in addition to our current offerings you\u2019ll see small quantities of Gaudou wines broken into seven single vineyard bottlings. Fabrice has evolved a \u201cCru\u201d based philosophy with the intention to showcase the unique characteristics of each vineyard block he is farming.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
