The wine region of Muscadet-Coteaux de la Loire
Muscadet sub-appellation (1936, 189 ha, 24 communes) upstream from Nantes along the Loire: 100% Melon de Bourgogne on steep slopes of Armorican Massif bedrock - gneiss, granite, mica schists and green rocks. Pale with green tints, tonic and powerful whites with a signature accentuated minerality. Nose of citrus, white flowers, iodine and saline notes, lively taut palate. Unique microclimate on the Loire slopes, aged on lees.
The word of the wine: Density per hectare
Number of vines per hectare. For the same yield, a vine planted with 3,000 vines per hectare bears many more bunches (per vine) than a vine planted with 10,000. The grapes will therefore be less rich in sugar and polyphenols (tannins, aromas...).
