Clos Armand was planted in 1945 on soils comprised of primarily weathered gabbro – a type of coarse-grained basalt found around the village of Monnières and Gorges. Later Michel’s Grandfather expanded his plantings of Melon in Clos Armand, so the age of these vines ranges between 45-70+ years old. Due to the age of the vines and the terroir, Clos Armand tends to be the richest and most voluminous of the Muscadets made by Michel Delhommeau.
Michel Delhommeau changed his labels in early 2023 and this reflects the new label for Clos Armand.
