From the indigenous and almost extinct Gringet grape; 22ha exist, of which 10 are tended by this domaine. Fresh and citrussy, scents of mountain air, perfume and candied ginger; energetic palate, attractive bitters, candied lemon, flowers, cool character; good intensity and length.
France, Loire Valley, Pays Nantais, Muscadet de Sèvre-et-Maine sur lie
Bottled after extended lees ageing, the archetype of intensity without weight, salinity, ample fruit, seamless, energetic, subtle, the merest hint of yeast, dry and fresh but not acidic or austere; this is really Muscadet-and-a-half.
Engaging wine, leather and spice, hint of cedar, dry and tannic, coffee, spices, hint of currants, black fruit, full-bodied, good intensity and length. Fully mature.
