Tasting notes

Pale straw with a faint green rim. The nose is restrained at first, then opens on white peach, lemon pith, crushed oyster shell and a hint of wild fennel. The palate is taut and saline, with a chalky, almost granitic texture and real breadth from the long lees ageing. The finish is dry and persistent, echoing with citrus and sea salt.

About this wine

Domaine de la Pépière farms old vines in the heart of Sèvre et Maine, south-east of Nantes, and has done more than almost any other estate to prove that Muscadet belongs among France's serious white wines.

Clisson is one of the appellation's cru communaux, grown on deep, coarse granite. The fruit is harvested by hand, fermented with indigenous yeasts in glass-lined vats and then left on its fine lees for roughly two years before bottling, entirely without oak. The result is a white of unusual depth and mineral drive, built to reward a decade or more in the cellar.
