The owner's pitch.

“Arriving in Loudenne, for the first time, I was dazzled by this beautiful and unforgettable estate. When its owners offered me the direction, I took the measure of the potential of this exceptional terroir and I did not hesitate for a second. My task, of course, to improve continuously the quality of Loudenne wines to reveal the true potential of its Terroir but also to preserve this exceptional natural place and this emblematic heritage of the Médoc that is Loudenne. For this reason, from 2017, we have initiated an active policy of environmental protection certified High Environmental Value at the highest level by French government and converted the entire vineyard into Organic Agriculture in 2019.”
