Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Light, edgy and bright with plenty of acidity, maybe even a little carbon dioxide left after the bottling "sur lie." The storied match for oysters, scallops and other shellfish, it also complements sautéed Dover and Petrale sole.

After temperature-controlled fermentation in concrete, the wine rests for a few months and then is bottled directly from the vats in which it has aged. This traditional technique - called bottling "sur lie" (on the lees) - maintains the tingle of fresh acidity which is the hallmark of classic Muscadet. Estate-bottled.

Domaine de la Batardiere

Located in the village of Gorges, 35 miles from where the Loire River meets the Atlantic Ocean. 75 acres of 100% Gros Plant, the vines grow in a light alluvial soil over limestone. Grapes have been grown and wine made in this part of the Loire since the Middle Ages; la Batardière has records of its vineyard leases dating from the 14th century. Property of the Aulanier family since 1767, the buildings and gardens at La Batardière bear a strong Italian influence.
