Chateau Franc-Baudron

The Guimberteau family has owned the Château Franc-Baudron estate since 1923. This is a vineyard on a human scale where each generation has left its footprint on the family heritage. Since 2010, the new generation of Château FrancBaudron has embarked on an environmental approach by converting the entire vineyard to organic farming. This is a production method that meets the living and the natural cycles of the plant but also the organic activity in the soil and biodiversity. To achieve these objectives, the farmer must meet specifications and regulations that exclude particular chemical synthetic fertilizers and synthetic pesticides use, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs). The vineyard hosts bee-hives, uses plants for treatments (horsetail, nettle and ferns) and seeds flowers to encourage biodiversity of wildlife in the vines.
