Domaine du Hèron is nestled on a 28-hectare estate in Muscadet’s most historically important appellation, Muscadet Sèvre-et-Maine. Local owner Philippe Nevou told us recently that his aim is “to continue making traditional wines, while focusing on the areas many unique soils, and being certified organic.” The estate’s name is a reference to the local herons who have taken residence on a small ponds among the vineyards. Here is the domaine's first cuvée comes from vines aged between 10 and 30 years on mica schist and schist soils. The significant presence of schist in the soil at a depth of 40 cm is really sharpens the critic acidity and makes it a critical component for the vertical structure of the wine. (In fact, in these global warming times, you’ll see many of the more acid-driven producers looking to vinify schist soils in Muscadet). With only minimal lees contact, the citrus elements combine with a musky white floral and iodine notes.
