AOP Muscadet Côtes de Grandlieu “Les Hautes Noëlles”

This wine of an unusual character is named after our Domaine’s oldest plot of vines. It is here where you will see us lovingly tending to the 100-year-old vines growing there.

Method of vinification:

Harvesting is carried out entirely by hand and the grapes are sorted. They then undergo a light maceration before pressing.
After this, the juice is settled to obtain a great aromatic finesse.
Fermentation and ageing take place in oak barrels, a quarter of which are replaced every year.
Over the winter, the wine remains on its lees which are given a regular stirring (bâtonnage).
The wine is bottled after a minimum of 12 months of ageing.
