Production notes

Blend of different terroirs on granite and gabbro parent rocks. Each plot islet is harvested and vinified separately.

The final blend of the different cuvées is determined in spring to produce a fresh and fruity Muscadet sur lie.

The fermentation gas trapped throughout the winter is released and “beads” to accentuate the freshness of this vintage. Its pearliness and its typical aromas of citrus and white flowers make it the natural companion of fish and seafood.
