Château Villars – Exclusive Conversation with Owner Thierry Gaudrie
Some of Bordeaux’s most fascinating wines are made far from the spotlight.
Press play below and you’re transported to Château Villars in Fronsac, where Thierry Gaudrie welcomes us into a relaxed conversation about family history, climate realities, and the quiet craft behind wines that consistently deliver remarkable quality for their price.
This is not a quick promotional interview.
It’s a genuine sit-down — the kind where bottles appear from the cellar, stories unfold naturally, and decades of experience begin to reveal themselves.
During this extended conversation, Thierry speaks openly about the evolution of the estate, the practical challenges of modern Bordeaux, and the philosophy guiding a property that has remained in his family for three generations.
