Historically a tenant farm of the Dukes of Brissac, the current Château was renovated at the end of the 19th century by a sister of the Duke, Princess d’Arenberg. She used it as a vacation residence, appreciated its wines, and hosted many friends there, including Joseph Kessel. The estate was later sold in 1952 to a family of winemakers, who helped establish the reputation of Château Soucherie’s wines throughout the region. Since 2007, the Beguinot family has been guiding the destiny of this exceptional property, with a constant commitment to improving quality.
The vineyard, covering approximately 28 hectares, is spread across three sites. Around the Château, 22 hectares are located on a schist hillside facing south and sheltered from northern winds. The estate's predominant grape variety, Chenin, is vinified exclusively as a single varietal in their Anjou Blancs, Savennières, Coteaux du Layon, and Premier Cru Chaume. For Anjou Reds, Cabernet Franc, grown on the hillsides, can be blended with the highly local and surprising Grolleau, which adds fruitiness and roundness. Gamay, on the other hand, brings crunchiness and freshness to the rosés.
The development of Botrytis Cinerea in the form of noble rot is encouraged by alternating dry and humid periods. Nighttime humidity, the cool morning breeze from the Layon River that borders the estate, morning dew, and mist from the Layon valley stimulate the fungus, while the afternoon autumn sun helps limit its growth. These specific conditions create the ideal environment to produce a great sweet wine.
Terroir: Vines around 30 years old on clay-schist and schist-sandstone soils in the commune of Beaulieu-sur-Layon.
