Domaine du Moulin Muscadet Sèvre-et-Maine AOC 2023

Light-Bodied French White Wine with Crisp Terroir Expression

Terroir-Driven Craftsmanship
Hailing from Saint-Fiacre-sur-Maine’s unique microclimate in western Loire Valley, this Melon de Bourgogne thrives on 30cm-deep silt-loam soils overlaying granite-schist bedrock. This geological profile reduces fungal pressure by 40% compared to neighboring appellations while offering natural frost resistance—a critical advantage in modern climate shifts.

Sustainable Viticulture
Grown on 30-year-old vines replanted with high-yield biotypes (50-55hl/ha), our farming practices prioritize biodiversity without compromising volume. The shallow topsoil concentrates flavors while maintaining root access to mineral-rich subsoil layers—a key differentiator from standard Muscadet production zones.

Tank-Aged Freshness
Fermented and aged entirely in stainless steel for 6-8 months to preserve vibrant acidity (6.2 pH) and citrus-forward character. Unlike oaked counterparts from Mouzillon-Tillières’ gabbro soils, this unoaked expression maintains a bright lemon zest backbone complemented by wet stone minerality from our schist subsoil.

Palate Profile
• Crisp acidity cutting through lemon curd sweetness
• Green apple skin tannins balanced by saline finish
• Subtle almond blossom aroma from cool-climate fermentation

Food Pairing Synergy
Perfectly bridges casual dining and fine cuisine:
✓ Oyster bar favorite (complements briny texture)
✓ Citrus-glazed salmon enhancer
✓ Goat cheese crostini accompaniment
✓ Lighter alternative to Pouilly-Fuissé

12.5% ABV | Vegan-Friendly | Available Now

Distinct from standard Muscadet through its earlier harvest timing (7 days pre-eastern gabbro harvests) and focus on immediate drinkability while maintaining structural integrity.
