Origin and history

The castle of the Oiselinière, located in Gorges in Pays de la Loire, is a wine estate whose history dates back to the medieval seigneury of the Oiselinière, attested from 1335. This seigneury, covering Gorges and Clisson, belonged to the lords of Clisson and Pallet. She changed owners only four times in 643 years: Maurice le Meignen (first known), Claude Grézeau (1460), Jean Goulet de la Fosse (1613), and Louis de La Bourdonnaye (1658). In 1767 it was acquired by the ancestors of the Aulanier family, who kept it until 2006, when Georges Verdier became its owner.

The vine has been cultivated there for centuries, as evidenced by parchment leases dating from 1337 to 1635. The latter, written by Jean Goulet de la Fosse, mentions for the first time the name Muscadet, combining the estate with local wine history. During World War II, the property was a high place of the Resistance, with the Aulanier family paying a heavy price. General Louis-Alexandre Audibert (1874-1955), a resistant member of parliament, lived there in his last years.

The present castle, a Italian villa built between 1822 and 1835, is part of a park from 1807 to 1809. Its communes, built in 1800 by Jean-Baptiste Bertrand-Geslin (future mayor of Nantes), and its orangery have been classified as historical monuments since 1997. The Illustrated Gallery, adorned with busts probably carved by Debay, and the shooting in 2016 of an episode of The Blood of the Vine add to its cultural prestige.
