Domaine Les Hautes Noelles, Les Moineries Vieilles Vignes Muscadet 2018

The almost 100-year-old vines of this single-vineyard wine grow on a gently sloping south-west facing plateau. They are responsible for the original character of this wine which emphasize the nobility of Muscadet, particularly in terms of its ability to pair with food.

Yields are 25hl/ha

The grapes are harvested entirely by hand and sorted. They then undergo a light maceration before pneumatic pressing and the resulting juice is settled to allow the wine to develop nicely.
Following fermentation with indigenous yeasts, the wine is aged in an underground tank for a minimum of 18 months with regular bâtonnages (stirring of the lees).
Light filtration before bottling.

A family property created in the 1930s, the Domaine is located about 15 kilometres south-west of Nantes, on the shores of the Lac de Grandlieu, the largest natural lake in France.

The Atlantic Ocean is only 30 km away and often brings offshore breezes.

Bought in 2010 by Jean-Pierre Guédon, it was followed by another milestone in 2020 when the estate was acquired by Juliane and Jean-Gabriel Tridon.

Today, they lavish great care and attention on 26 hectares of vines that they work entirely according to organic growing principles.
