History
Founded in 1919, the Domaine du Clos Naudin is an iconic property within the Vouvray appellation.

Renowned for its exceptional Chenin Blanc, Clos Naudin has become a benchmark for Vouvray wines.
Philosophy
The estate is dedicated to sustainable viticulture and meticulous winemaking, focusing on an authentic expression of its terroir. Grapes are hand-harvested to ensure optimal ripeness and quality. The vinification process remains traditional: slow fermentation with indigenous yeasts and aging on fine lees to allow Chenin Blanc to develop its full complexity and aging potential.
Terroir
The vineyard spans 12 hectares, exclusively planted with Chenin Blanc. The vines thrive on clay-flint and limestone soils, typical of the Vouvray appellation. This unique terroir imparts a combination of freshness, minerality, and aromatic richness to the wines, which have become the signature of the estate.
