Château de la Gravelle Muscadet Sèvre et Maine Sur Lie 2021

Loire River. Where the wind from the Atlantic caresses the vines and the sun kisses the grapes. This is where Muscadet Sèvre et Maine sur lie AOC Château de la Gravelle was born. An organic white wine, it is one of the good products offered here by Vignobles Günther-Chereau. Château de la Gravelle is located in Saint-Fiacre-sur-Maine, in an area characterised by a unique volcanic terroir. The subsoil, composed of volcanic gabbro rock covered by a thin layer of clay, gives the wine minerality and freshness. 100% Melon de Bourgogne, an indigenous Loire grape variety, its bunches, harvested by hand when fully ripe, give life to a wine with a fruity and aromatic character. Artisanal vinification, with alcoholic fermentation in steel at a controlled temperature. The wine is then left to rest on the fine lees throughout the winter, until bottling at the end of March. This process gives the wine a beautiful aromatic complexity and a pleasant smoothness. Straw yellow in colour with greenish highlights, the nose opens with a fruity bouquet, notes of citrus fruits, green apple and white peach. In the mouth it is fresh and lively, with a pleasant minerality and a lingering finish. The perfect wine to accompany fish, shellfish and seafood dishes, Muscadet is considered the 'oyster wine' par excellence.
