2023 Domaine de la Pepiere Muscadet Sevre et Maine Briords Cuvee Vieilles Vignes 1.5L

Producer: Domaine de la Pepiere Region: Muscadet, Loire, France  Varietal: Melon de Bourgogne Year: 2023  Winemaker Notes:  "Briords is a 3-hectare lieu-dit in the cru of Château Thébaud. These vines are the estate's oldest plot, planted from massale selection 60-70 years ago. The sandy clay soils are rich in granite de Thébaud, a type differing from granite de Clisson in in its higher feldspar and clay content; it is cooler, holds water well and ripens the fruit more slowly. The farming is certified-biodynamic and the vineyard work including harvest is manual. As for the all Pepière wines, the fruit is direct-pressed and the juice settled naturally for 12 hours. It is then fermented in stainless steel tanks with natural yeasts; the wine is aged on its lees in large, underground, glass-lined cement tanks for 7 to 8 months."  Alcohol: 12%  Biodynamic  *Price and availability in store may vary.
