DOMAINE DES TILLEULS La Regrippière (Vallet) 18, rue du Vignoble 44330, Loire
Muscadet Sèvre et Maine sur Lie Essentielle, an AOP wine proposed here by Domaine des Tilleuls, is a white wine made from 100% Melon de Bourgogne grapes in the Loire wine region, particularly in the Pays Nantais area. Melon de Bourgogne is one of the most representative vines of the region, even though it originates from Burgundy (as the name suggests). An early-ripening vine, it prefers cool and moderately humid climates. It produces wines with a fruity and mineral character, with hints of citrus, pear and green apple, as well as typical saline notes. And it is precisely this last characteristic that makes the wines produced from this variety ideal in combination with seafood dishes and oysters in particular. In this case, the vines from which the grapes come are between 15 and 30 years old and grow in rocky soil, enjoying a temperate oceanic climate. Processing in the winery begins with a soft pneumatic pressing and subsequent cold static sedimentation to make the must clear. Alcoholic fermentation takes place at a low temperature, while the wine matures on the lees for 6 months in underground tanks, typical of the Pays Nantais, and continues with bottling, again in the presence of yeasts. A pale yellow colour with greenish notes, it may not be perfectly clear. On the nose, it reveals pleasant hints of citrus and minerals, with notes of white flowers. On the palate, it is pleasantly fresh, with fruity notes, good breadth and elegance. The real strengths of this wine. Muscadet Sèvre et Maine sur Lie is the wine par excellence used with oysters, but it also goes well with fish dishes, grilled sardines and fresh goat's cheese.
Domaine des Tilleuls covers about 35 hectares at La Regrippière in Vallet, in the Nante region. We are about 50 kilometres from the ocean, where the Melon de Bourgogne grape variety reigns supreme in the production of Muscadet. We are south of the Loire, where the climate is oceanic and enjoys mild winters and hot, dry summers, never with extreme temperatures. Viticulture at Domaine des Tilleuls is geared towards sustainability and the techniques for processing the grapes, which come from vines between 15 and 30 years old, are simple and rigorous. The history of Domaine des Tilleuls began in 1905 with Auguste Godefroy who, having inherited a few plots of vines with great potential for producing high quality wines, decided to take up the vine growing trade. His nephew, Gaby Houssin, bought an old farm in the place called 'Les Tilleuls', taking all the surrounding land and vines, including some of the oldest Muscadet plots, and built a new stone wine cellar, equipped with barrels and some underground vats covered with glassy material, typical of the village of Nantes, to produce fine wines. Today, thanks to the passion of Jérôme and Noemie, the fifth generation of the family, the domaine enjoys considerable international development.
