Overview

Following a trend among the top producers of Muscadet, the Lieubeau family are not only making three outstanding cru Muscadets from Goulaine, Clisson, and Château Thébaud, but they also make a single terroir (and single plot) Muscadet from sandy, weathered gneiss. This site faces east and is on a gentle slope bordering the river Maine. This terroir expresses itself with delicate floral aromas and a coiled, salty minerality.
