History: In the family since 1864, this estate is a regular medal-winner and its dynamism is clearly shown in the way it has grown under Jérôme, the 4th generation of his family to run the estate. Today the domaine has 87 hectares in production, an area complemented by his buying a further 30+ hectares sur pied - making this the largest single estate in the region.
Regional information: Set just south of Nantes, between the better known vineyards of Muscadet's Sèvre & Maine and the Atlantic coast, the 260 hectare Côtes de Grandlieu Cru benefits from an exceptional microclimate: the warmth of the Atlantic brings spring on early, while the huge Lac de Grandlieu acts like a giant storage heater through the growing season, giving extra ripeness and more fruit to the wines.
Vinification: The grapes are gently pressed in CO2-inerted pneumatic presses, with some of the crop now macerating with its skins. The juice is then cleared and is kept cold with a 4-10 day stabulation à froid, bringing out even more flavours and aromas. After a long, cold fermentation in glass-lined underground vats, the wines are left to mature on their lees until bottling sur lies.
