The domain's landmark cuvée, crafted since 1976. More info

The domain’s star cuvée, this one has been produced since 1976. The vines grow in a splendid terroir composed of granite and gneisses. The grapes are harvested by hand and the musts moved only using gravity to avoid any unwanted oxidation. As is tradition for Muscadet, the wine is matured on lees for 10 months after fermentation. The result is dazzling, full of freshness and finesse. Unsurprising that we find it at the tables of star restaurants.
