Overview

Originating from the heart of Muscadet, this wine hails from a single plot where the vine’s roots delve into silt and sandy weathered quartz over mica-schist. The winemaking process is traditional yet precise: manual harvesting, gentle pressing, and spontaneous alcoholic and malolactic fermentations. The wine ages in vats for six months, allowing its character to blossom into a true reflection of its terroir. A proper spring wine, it boasts an enchanting bouquet of white flowers. Freshness and minerality intertwine on the palate, making it a perfect match for seafood or a delightful aperitif.
