Alexandre's father, Armand Monmousseau, is the former head of his family's sparkling wine firm in Montrichard.

The appellation was founded in 1936 and covers nine villages in the region. You can find sparkling wines at this estate – sec (dry) or demi-sec (basically off-dry, although for most consumers these would be considered dry) – as well as their sweet wines, which vary considerably in their degrees of sweetness and are referred to as moelleux.

Clos Le Vigneau is a single vineyard from an area known as “les Gués d'Amant” or “Lover’s Gap”. Most of the vines were planted in 1929. The soil is a mixture of argilo-calcaire, silex and gravel. Alexandre Monmousseau believes in low yields for concentration and flavor. The grapes are hand harvested. Pressing is long and slow, fermentation is in stainless steel with two rackings and a light filtration before bottling.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"gaudrelle-clos-le-vigneau-vouvray-2025","title":"Gaudrelle Clos le Vigneau Vouvray 2025","description":"\u003cp\u003eGaudrelle Monmousseau Clos le Vigneau Vouvray is made from 100% Chenin Blanc\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClos Le Vigneau is a single vineyard from an area known as \"les Gués d'Amant\" or \"Lover's Gap\".
