MUSCADET Clos les MONTYS Vigne de 1914

The soil is sandy-silty and rocky, strewed with sandstone. In the northern part, the soil is very superficial, almost non-existent, and luckily it is in these very rough conditions that are found the oldest vines – planted in 1926, 1922, 1917, and 1914. On the south slope, the soil varies from sandy-silty rock to true clay in the parcel called ” La Tache ” on the southwest side of the vineyard. The bedrock is composed of amphibolite and meta gabbro, an igneous blue-green rock which is very hard, coming from the intrusion of lava in the faults of the Armorican massif.
