Discovering the wine region of Pays Nantais

The Pays Nantais is the region surrounding the city of Nantes, on the Atlantic coast of Brittany, France. The region covers an area of about 90 kilometres from east to west, between neighbouring Anjou and the Atlantic coast. Most of the production produces light, fresh white wines. The most famous of these is undoubtedly Muscadet, where the melon">Melon de Bourgogne grape dominates the plantings.

Muscadet wines are, in turn, produced under several different appellations, including Muscadet Sèvre-et-Maine. Melon de Bourgogne is not a particularly tasty grape variety, so without care in the Vineyard and careful Vinification, the wines are likely to be rather bland and Characterless. This is especially true in hot vintages, when the grapes tend to lose their Organoleptic complexity and their vital, characteristic Acidity. In order to glean as much flavour and character as possible from the grape must, many wines are left on the lees for weeks or even months.

Discover the grape variety: Tourbat

The Tourbat grape variety is found particularly in Sardinia. It is probably of Catalan origin and is grown on an area of 25 hectares. It is also known by other names such as torbato, caninu or malvoise du Roussillon, and develops perfectly in hot, dry soil. It is noticeable for its drooping habit. Its lobed leaves have short teeth. The bunches, sometimes winged, are of medium size. They can weigh up to 347 gr. The berries, a little ellipsoid, are rather of a medium size. The flesh is juicy and covered with a rather thick skin, which takes on an amber-pink colour when they are ripe. A wine of medium acidity and high quality comes from this variety. When young, the wine gives off an aroma of ripe apples and when aged, it gives off a scent of honey and cooked fruits.
