"Du Pep's!"

"This is a refreshing, straightforward Muscadet. It perfectly fulfills its role as an invigorating white wine". (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2022 - RVF) This friendly, refreshing wine will seduce you with its expressive nose of white fruits, apple, pear and a touch of aniseed. Unusually greedy for a Muscadet, the palate is delicious, with a pleasant fruity roundness and a nice fatness.

Rated wine (guide 2022) 89/100

Domaine rated (2023 guide) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winegrowers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the wine:

This is a refreshing, straightforward Muscadet. It perfectly fulfills its role as a tonic and invigorating white.

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. Made only in good years and aged for 18 months on the lees (minimum requirement), Cru Communal Goulaine reveals its full depth and seems well equipped for ageing. Cuvées full of energy and sparkle!
