Muscadet Sèvre et Maine 'Chateau Thebaud' Domaine de la Pepiere 2019

Domaine de la Pepiere's Muscadet Sèvre et Maine 'Chateau Thebaud' comes from the westernmost part of the Loire. It is a wine from one of the area's most prized crus, famous for the 'granit de Château-Thébaud', granitic soils where the roots can grow very deep. The wine spends a good 30 months on the lees with frequent bâtonnage, a technique that gives body, complexity and finesse. The nose has fruity notes with intriguing herbaceous hints reminiscent of fennel seeds and liquorice, all crowned by a fresh, flowing sip with a distinctly saline finish. Perfect with noble fish such as turbot or John Dory
