Background

The Domaine du Haut Bourg is located south of Nantes around the Grand-Lieu Lake in the Loire-Atlantique department – in the heart of the Muscadet Côtes de Grandlieu appellation. The estate is a family business built up by four generations winegrowers. In 1944, the first Muscadet vines were planted on the estate and since then, the surface of the vineyard has not ceased to grow to reach 40 hectares today.

Tasting notes

Lemon, Lime, Pineapple, Apple, dried fruit. Very pleasing minerality.

Winemaking

Planted 75 year old vine, this cuvée is a link between the first and the lastest generation of winegrowers. Aged on the lees underground for 9 years, this allows the wine to be kept in the best condition prior to release.

Food pairings

Oysters, lobster and other delicacies from the sea. Also works nicely with poultry or hard cheese.
