Founded
by Edouard Langlois and his wife Jeanne Chateau and run today
by Michel Villedey, the Maison Langlois-Chateau has kept its family
character.
Specialised
from the beginning in making "fine bubble" wines, Langlois-Chateau
has developed little by little these vineyards. A range of "still"
wines is also produced in a selection of Loire valley appellation
contrôlées.
Constantly
looking to improve the quality of its wines, Langlois-Chateau
has built up knowledge and skill in its area:
Knowledge
of vineyards and the terroir Langlois-Chateau is very active in
research into wine growing and always set a premium on using natural
methods and respect for the environment, particularly in pest
management. Langlois-Chateau was one of the first to obtain the
"Terra Vitis" label.
Controlling
the wine growing process : Langlois-Chateau has regularly invested
in the highest quality material (membrane press, thermo-regulated
vats, cellars, casks etc) that respects the nature of the grapes
and helps bring out their character.
Control of the blending process : the choice and progress of blending
is essential in the creation of a Crémant de Loire worthy
of the Langlois-Chateau brand: rich, elegant, complete.
Controlling
the quality process : through permanent control that monitors
the wines from the grape stage to the shipped bottle (traceability)
according to criteria defined by us.
Langlois-Chateau
has been developing "fine bubbles" wines like this under
the name Crémant de Loire, an appellation that requires
manual picking, lighter pressing, longer maturing and adding its
own quality standards to the appellations' requirements.
Langlois-Chateau
also makes "still" wines from vineyards it runs in Saumur
-Domaine Langlois-Chateau, Saumur-Champigny -Château de
Varrains, Sancerre -Château de Fontaine-Audon or that it
controls in Muscadet - Domaine de Grand-Maison.
A
large number of medals and awards, as well as the recognition
by a clientele of wine-lovers in France and in many overseas countries,
have rewarded our constant search for quality, elegance and distinction.
