Muscat de Saint Jean de Minervois
The appellation Muscat de Saint Jean de Minervois is located in Languedoc and has been one of the region's oldest appellations since 1948. This small appellation covers approximately 200 hectares with an annual production of 6,000 hectoliters and has only six estates and a cooperative winery producing 80% of the wines.
Known exclusively for its Natural Sweet Wines, the Muscat de Saint Jean de Minervois appellation dates back to a tradition that began in the late 19th century under the impetus of winemaker Edouard Jean.
Located on poor soil, a hard limestone plateau at an altitude of between 250 and 280 meters with high levels of sunshine, the stones release the heat accumulated during the day, promoting the ripening of the grapes' aromatic compounds. However, the cool nights ensure a good balance between alcohol, sugar, and acidity.
Muscat Saint Jean de Minervois Natural Sweet Wine is made exclusively from the small-grain Muscat grape variety. Thanks to the mutage technique, which involves adding alcohol during alcoholic fermentation, some of the natural sugars are retained to produce a sweet nectar. The wines develop aromas of exotic fruits, citrus fruits, and white-fleshed fruits and offer a wonderful balance on the palate, combining power and freshness, harmony, and persistence.
