The soil is granit rock with many pebble of quartz. The maturation on its lees in the underground vat over forty-five months is really maturing specific in our appellation. The expression of this Muscadet is highly different from the young Muscadet that everyone knows. It’s a real discovery to share. Beautiful light yellow color. A nose of toasted notes and candied fruits such as apricot and
exotic orange. The palate is ample, round and structured. We find the aromas of apricot and candied fruits.
