Vinification Details
Harvested when ripen, the grapes are protected from oxidation (the vineyard is centred around the vatting rooms). Moderated pressing. Severe settling and cold stalling over the fine must deposit from the juices (to extract the precursory aromas). Cool fermentation (between 15 and 17°C). Ageing over lees (no racking
at the end of alcohol fermentation). Lees are regularly suspended (traditional Burgundy practice popularly called ¿stirring the lees¿).

So happy I found this it's delicious

Muscadet is my absolute favourite white wine. Yes I'll enjoy a nice sauvignon blanc or chardonnay but will always go back to Muscadet with a contented smile. Over the years it's reputation has improved and I love the clean, fresh, versatile flavour this wine offers. Delicious and VERY easy to drink and enjoy. If you like dry white wine with a delicious fruity flavour this will not disappoint. I love it and am so glad I found it.
