Domaine du Clos Naudin is a family-owned Vouvray estate in the Loire Valley focused on Chenin Blanc. The Foreau family has guided the domaine across generations: Philippe Foreau led it from 1983, and Vincent Foreau, the fourth generation, took over in 2017. The vineyards are farmed organically in practice, without herbicides and with organic fertilizers, and the fruit is harvested by hand. In the cellar, still wines are fermented in 300-liter oak barrels with no malolactic fermentation, while the traditional-method sparkling wines spend at least 48 months on the lees. The domaine is known for a careful, low-intervention approach rooted in family continuity and long experience in Vouvray.
