Name of the wine: AOC Muscadet Sèvre & Maine Sur Lie

Grape varieties: Melon de Bourgogne 100 %

Age of the vines: 40 years

Growing techniques: Meticulous work on the vines prior to the harvest (short pruning, leaf thinning, bunch thinning…). The grapes are picked at full ripeness.

Bottling: There’s no rush to market our Muscadets, we give all our wines an extended 14-month maturing period to increase aromatic potential and fullness of taste. Let time do its work...

This means that we have a stock; the wines are generally marketed after tastings, which allows us to sell the wine with the most definite character.

Temperature: 8 to 10°C

Laying down: Up to 2 years for its young characteristics, and longer to obtain a wine with a long laying-down potential.
