Origin and history

The castle of the Oiselinière, located in Gorges in the Loire-Atlantique, is a former seigneury attested from 1335. She was the lords of Clisson and Pallet, and lay on Gorges and Clisson. In 643 years, she only changed four times as owners: 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, before being bought in 2006 by Georges Verdier.

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 regional wine history. The castle was also a high place of the Resistance during the Second World War, with the Aulanier family playing an active role.

Today's architecture dates back to the 19th century: a Italian villa (1822-1835) and commons (1800), surrounded by a park built between 1807 and 1809. General Louis-Alexandre Audibert, a resistant and MP, lived there in his last years (1946-1955). In 1997, the estate was listed as a historical monument, and in 2016 it served as a decoration for the series The Blood of the Vine.
