Tasting Notes
Muscadet Sevre-et-Maine Orthogneiss is refined with expression of citrus, spices, tropical fruits, and aromas of white flowers in the background. Complex, rich, yet lively attack, with flavors of lemon, almonds, and passion fruits, great acidity over a long finish.
France
Loire Valley
Loire Valley stretches from Atlantic coast near Nantes to the inland Auvergne in the middle of the country. This wine region in western France plays a major role in terms of both quantity and quality of the national total output. The production is predominately driven by white wines using Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, and Melon de Bourgogne.
Moderate maritime climate
Domaine de l’Ecu
The large variety of soils in the Loire Valley is characterised by diverse natural environments. This region can be sub-divided in four climates, from western coastal regions to inlands - Pays Nantais / Anjou-Saumur / Touraine / Central Vineyards. In Pays Nantais, the soils are predominantly volcanic (igneous) with top-soils of porous gneiss. This means the soils have a good drainage, which allows vines to thrive well in this wet climate.
