MUSCADET La Chauvinière

The terroir is unique, a granite of Château-Thébaud, it represents only about 4% of the appellation, a small island in the heart of the Muscadet vineyard. The soil is shallow (20 to 30 cms), it consists of coarse elements: sand, gravel, pebbles. It is a hot and well-drained soil that guarantees an early budding of the vines. The bedrock (granite of Château-Thébaud) is faulted vertically and highly fractured. This allows the vine roots to go deep, where they always find some water and minerals to ensure the continuity of these cycles and thus offer us perfectly ripe grapes with a beautiful sugar/acid balance.
