Chereau Carre La Griffe Muscadet (750ml)

The vineyard is located in Saint-Fiacre-sur-Maine, within the appellation of Muscadet Sèvre et Maine. The vines are south facing and range from 20 to 30 years in age. They are planted in deep schistous soil which allows the roots to penetrate the soil for several metres. The vines are carefully tended throughout the year. The harvest takes place in September, when the grapes have reached optimal maturity.  Fermentation took place at controlled temperatures in stainless steel to preserve the varietal characteristics of the Melon-de-Bourgogne variety. The Muscadet “La Griffe” Chéreau Carré was then aged on its lees for six months with regular  lees stirring until bottling. The wine was made in an unoaked style to retain the fresh style and purity of fruit.
