This branch of the Dagueneau family headed by father Serge is based in Saint Andelain and owns 19 hectares of old vineyards across several of the prime sites of the appellation as well as 3 hectares in the nearby appellation of Cotes de la Charite. Today the estate is run by Serge's daughter Valerie, cousin of the late Didier Dagueneau, and Serge still helps in the vineyard.
The 'adventure' of winemaking began for the Champault family in 1850. Today, with great passion and personal commitment, the brothers Laurent and Claude Champault are responsible for the 18-hectare family estate located on the west bank of the Loire River in the Cher department. The vineyards are divided into the Sancerre and Menetou-Salon appellations and are planted with 11.5 ha Sauvignon Blanc and 7.5 ha Pinot Noir.

By tasting the Vouvrays of Philippe Foreau, everything becomes clear, legible in the chenin; what is complex is also greedy, what is very ripe therefore remains tense, what is early good is confirmed and amplified over the decades. Pure, long in the mouth, with a proverbial persistence, the Vouvrays of Clos Naudin have the regularity of a metronome despite the variations of the Loire climate.
