The Details

This is a pristine and distinct Muscadet from Phillippe Chevarin. On the western end of the Loire Valley, where the Atlantic Ocean feeds into the historic river’s mouth, Muscadet (grape: Melon de Bourgogne) reigns supreme. The ideal wine to pair with oysters and selfsame Atlantic fare. Some forty-five minutes inland, Phillippe Chevarin fell out of a life of audio-engineering and into a life of the vine where he has since been making some supremely drinkable wines. He tends 5.3 hectares in an area that would be - if he were to apply for appellation status - in the AOCs Muscadet des Coteaux-de-la-Loire and Coteaux d’Ancenis, about half an hour northeast of Nantes. 

Tasting Notes: Hazy but full of minerality and that briny parmesan rind goodness of the Western Loire. Ideal for warm days on the stoop, or dreaming of a picnic in the park with moules frites.

Vinification:  100% Melon de Bourgogne, a blend of every parcel. Direct, slow-press with an old screw press. Full malolactic fermentation follows and the wine goes through a short aging in bottle though it is best drunk young. Unfined, unfiltered, no additional SO2. 12.5% ABV
