Free Tasting Area
Information
Grand cru du Muscadet.
TERROIR : The soil is composed of a silty-sandy texture on the first 30 centimeters. The subsoil is composed of metamorphic rocks: gneiss with 2 micas. The parcel dedicated to this appellation is on a 15% slope facing south.
VINIFICATION: The vinification is innovative. Indeed, during a classic vinification on lees, the wine remains in tank in contact with the lees during 7 to 14 months, then it is bottled. This Cru must remain on its lees for at least 24 months. The Cru Monnières Saint Fiacre 2018 was left on its lees from September 2018 to April 2022, i.e. 43 months.
