Sustainable

Vintage 2023The grapes for this wine are grown on a type of crumbly granite known as Gabbro, allowing their roots to go deep underground. The wine starts the fermentation in stainless steel, then is transferred to glass-lined underground tanks for 6-10 months to sit on its lees. Lovely, flowery and briny wine, a true showcase of its terroir. Lemon, lime, white flowers and salty notes of the sea vie for your attention, with an intense mineral mouthfeel and striking acidity that balances everything on the palate.

About the producer
With Melon de Bourgogne vines planted in a completely different sort of soil called gabbro (basically crumbly granite), Jean-Pascal lovingly tends the land like his ancestors did for generations. He starts the fermentation in stainless steel, then transfers the wines to glass-lined underground tanks to let them sit on their lees until he feels they’re ready, creating Muscadets that are aromatically expressive, with striking acidity, minerality and salinity but also with stunning purity of fruit.

Winemaker Notes
Located in Valley, outside of Nantes, Jean-Pascal Aubron–a fourth generation vigneron–strives to make bone-dry wines like Muscadet, Folle Blanche and Sauvignon Blanc.
