ABOUT THE PRODUCER

Domaine de la Grenaudière - Specialist in Muscadets since 1723

Domaine de la Grenaudière is located in the heart of the Muscadet appellation since 1723. Ideally located between the rivers Sèvre and Maine on granite soils, Domaine de la Grenaudière produces 100% Melon de Bourgogne wines. The long maturation on lees allows the creation of Muscadets that express the purest expression of the terroir. Mathilde Ollivier and Stéphane Cottenceau represent the 8th generation of winegrowers at the Domaine de la Grenaudière , taking over from Guy and Jean-Luc Ollivier. For 150 years, 4 generations have succeeded one another to get the best out of the Melon de Bourgogne (Melon B) grape variety, emblematic of Muscadet. At Domaine de la Grenaudière, the wines are aged on lees for between 6 and 60 months. We mature the wines in underground glass tanks. The very good thermal inertia of these underground vats allows for quality storage and maturation. This is the result of meticulous and well thought-out work from the vineyard to the vinification. Maturing on the lees gives the wines great stability and optimal maturation, giving them fatness and aromatic complexity.
