Our grape varieties <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Melon B. is one of the most famous white wine grapes of Loire Valley<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Melon B<\/strong>, also known as Melon de Bourgogne or just Melon, is a dry white wine grape <\/strong>variety used for Muscadet wines. Melon B is the most important grape of the Loire Valley region<\/strong>. Melon B predominates in the Nantes region, located 50 km from the Atlantic Ocean.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Muscadet-C\u00f4tes-de-Grandlieu appellation  <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our Muscadet is grown in Muscadet-C\u00f4tes-de-Grandlieu appellation<\/strong>, near lake Grand-Lieu, the biggest lake in Europe. The area stretches from the south-west of Nantes to the edge of Grandlieu Lake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Muscadet region is located near the Atlantic coast of France<\/strong>, where the soils benefit from the gentle and humid presence of the Atlantic. The main soil for our Melon B is schist, yellow granite and amphibolite, covered by pebbles.<\/strong> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The characteristics, notes and aromas of Melon B <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The color of Muscadet wines varies from a light green hue to pale yellow and honey yellow hues.  <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the nose, the wine of this variety is floral with notes of citrus and fruit. <\/strong>The geographical location of the Atlantic Ocean gives the wine a minerality and iodine aromas.<\/strong>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When tasted, Muscadet wines have a light texture<\/strong>, a slight acidity and a crispy touch.<\/strong> Muscadet is naturally low on alcohol, ready to drink wine.   <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Muscadet – a perfect pairing with seafood and fish! <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Muscadet has a well-defined mineral structure and an incomparable natural saline <\/strong>freshness from the Atlantic coast. Muscadet is an ideal pairing with shellfish, sashimi, more iodized seafood like oysters or fish dishes <\/strong>(to add in JP after \u2018or fish dishes…\u2019: like saengsonhoe<\/strong>)<\/em>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for vegetarian and vegan <\/strong>version, Muscadet goes very well with roasted lemon garlic samphire or baked Brussel sprout with salt flakes.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chardonnay – a great food wine <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chardonnay is one of the world\u2019s most popular grapes. It is a very grape variety that can fit every taste. Chardonnay is made in a wide range of styles from lean sparkling to rich creamy oak aged white wines.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notes and flavours of Chardonnay that flatter your taste buds <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We use Chardonnay <\/strong>to make both still wine and effervescent wine<\/strong>. For our sparkling wines and Cr\u00e9mant de Loire <\/strong>we are using the traditional method<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This grape is known for the balance <\/strong>of its flavors when tasted. Our Chardonnay is very smooth <\/strong>and has a fresh elegant <\/strong>and crispy <\/strong>style. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grolleau Gris is a grape variety mainly for our Low Alcool Wine – 8.5 % Vol Alcool<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Grolleau Gris is an important grape variety choice because it allows: a naturally low alcohol content (often < 11% vol.) and to produce aromatic wines even (or especially) at low maturity.
By harvesting it at the right time, and vinifying it in a way that we keep secret, we manage to obtain a wine with 8.5% Vol alcohol, while managing to keep freshness and volume. If you don’t know it, it is very difficult to know that this wine has a low alcohol content. No dealcoholization or deacidification is carried out.
Grolleau Gris is a grape variety that benefits from a recognized geographical indication of quality, the IGP Val de Loire (Protected Geographical Indication).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grolleau Gris is a grape variety that benefits from a recognized quality appellation, the IGP Loire Valley <\/strong>(Protected Geographical Indication).   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The characteristics of Grolleau Gris  <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With Grolleau Gris we produce fruity, supple, low on alcohol <\/strong>wines. Traditionally in the Loire Valley this grape variety is used for our sparkling wine, made by traditional method. Our unique specialty<\/strong> at the winery is that we also use Grolleau Gris for our white and ros\u00e9 wines<\/strong>, which will depend on the maceration technique. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This variety has an original intense fruit and exotic aromas.<\/strong> Grolleau Gris tend to be crisp <\/strong>and fresh <\/strong>with pleasant minerality <\/strong>and fragrant side.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Chenin grape \u2013 a grape full of fragrance  <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chenin <\/strong>is another grape variety closely linked to the Loire Valley. It is used to produce all types of white wines, dry, sweet, still and sparkling.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compared to the other grape varieties, this one is more complex and is more of a delicate <\/strong>type of grape. Chenin easily takes on the characteristics of its terroir and must therefore be cultivated with great care.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Chenin is grown in AOP Saumur appellation<\/strong> and is used to produce white wine and sparkling wines.<\/strong> Chenin grape is used for our range of Saumur wines for J-C, Herbauges and Jerome Choblet Herbauges, as well as for the Saumur Brut of Ch\u00e2teau la Salle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chenin grape is like a bouquet of flowers in a bottle <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the eye, the Chenin grape reveals a yellow color with a golden tendency. <\/strong>The nose is surprised by the particularity of this grape. Depending on the age <\/strong>of the wine, the Chenin grape will reveal itself floral, elegant and mineral, or full-bodied and creamy. <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In its youth<\/em>, we dive into a bouquet of flowers<\/em>. With age<\/em>, these notes evolve towards more fruity notes, white fruits like peach, aromas of exotic fruits such as pineapple or mango.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for the palate, it displays a complex richness of honey-like notes, floral, citrus, caramel notes or even vanilla.<\/strong> The acidity elegantly balances the aromas<\/strong> in the mouth and remains on a beautiful length<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The notion of minerality <\/strong>takes on its full meaning here by expressing the stony and saline character of the terroir.<\/strong> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Chenin is a balanced wine perfect for aging <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Because Chenin grape has a mineral touch, it has a great aging potential.<\/strong> However, our Chenin wines can be enjoyed straight away or stored in your wine cellar for a few years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is always place for a Chenin  <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With its varied and controlled aromas, Chenin offers a true gastronomy wine.<\/strong> It is easily associated with many culinary creations.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The honeyed notes of Chenin go well with dishes such as tagliatelle <\/strong>with porcini mushrooms<\/strong> or with cheeses <\/strong>such as Camembert – or simply enjoy on its own! <\/em>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
