Appellation: Muscadet Sèvre et Maine sur Lie AOP

Grapes: 100% Melon de Bourgogne

Average Vine Age: From 5 to 55 years old

Altitude: 177 feet (54m)

Soils/Terroir: Located on the banks of the Sèvre river, this wine is a blend of all the Domaine’s terroirs with soils of Orthogneiss, Gneiss, Schist, and Gneiss à deux Mica. The Domaine sits on a “Combe” and therefore benefits from multiple exposures with a South facing slope, a plateau, and a North facing slope.

Farming: Organic

Harvest: Hand harvested

Yield: 22 hl/ha

Winemaking: Direct pressing of the whole grape clusters upon arrival in the cellar, followed by 1 day of cold settling. The wine is then racked off the gross lees and transferred to large concrete tanks for fermentation. Spontaneous fermentation using only the naturally occurring indigenous yeasts. In 2023 the wine went through full malolactic fermentation, after which a low dose of sulphur was added.

Maturation: Aged for 8 months in large concrete tanks on the winemaking lees. Bottled without fining or filtration.
