Technical Sheet written by the domaine:

Description:
"A piece of land called La Minée, dependent on the said Seigneury of Navineaux […] to be planted and improved in the next month of May with good Muscadet plants"
This lease of 1616 is the first written mention of Muscadet. We have put all our expertise into the restoration of this old vineyard: horse-drawn work, manual harvesting, 3-year aging in foudre, barrel, and amphora. A great wine of terroir, the result of patient research and a testament to our attachment to the region.
