The Story
In Vallet, capital of the Muscadet region, the family has been cultivating a 19-hectare vineyard for three generations, respecting nature and each vintage. Their vineyards have been certified organic for over 1/4 century. Their terroirs are carefully tended to respect the rhythms of nature. Yields are adapted, grapes are harvested by hand, and pressing is gentle.
