About the wine:
Vinified and aged in terracotta eggs, Medolia leaves a rich sensation of its solar vintage, while expressing a beautiful relief of flavors. Serve at table.
About the domain :
The Bonnet brothers, Jean-Jacques and Rémi, heirs to the family estate in La Chapelle-Heulin, converted their 40 hectares of vines to organic farming in 2005. Four terroirs have been vinified separately to bring out their finest expression. On Les Dabinières, a warm soil of gneiss and micaschist, the fruit expresses itself with roundness. On the amphibolite and micaschist soils of Les Gautronnières, the melon becomes mineral and taut. The poor, granitic soils of Les Laures produce a denser, fuller wine. Only made in good years and aged for 18 months on the lees (minimum requirement), Cru Communal Goulaine reveals its depth and seems well equipped for ageing. Cuvées full of energy and sparkle!
