Domaine de la Chauviniere

View all products

Jérémie Huchet took over from his father in 2001 and expanded the domaine (which was started with 5ha in 1946) with the purchase of Clos Montys (vines planted in 1914) and Chateau Thébaud. The domaine has now 38ha in southern and southeastern facing slopes on soils of amphibolite, gneiss, granite, and a particular granite called 'granodirite à biotite' (mica), called "granite of Chateau Thébaud" which represents only 4% of the soils in Muscadet. The Muscadet is kept on its fine lees all winter with no racking. The CO2 in the wine permits the wine to keep its primary and secondary aromas and freshness.

There are hundreds of white grape varieties grown throughout the world. Some are indigenous specialties capable of producing excellent single varietal wines. Each has its own distinct viticultural characteristics, as well as aroma and flavor profiles.

Pays Nantais Wine

Loire, France

View all products

The Pays Nantais, Loire’s only region abutting the Atlantic coast, is solely focused on the Melon de Bourgogne grape in its handful of subzones: Muscadet-Sèvre et Maine, Muscadet-Coteaux de la Loire and Muscadet-Côtes de Grandlieu. Muscadet wines are dry, crisp, seaside whites made from Melon de Bourgogne and are ideal for the local seafood-focused cuisine. (They are not related to Muscat.) There is a new shift in the region to make these wines with extended lees contact, creating fleshy and more aromatic versions.
