Muscadet Sèvre et Maine sur Lie Blanc "Secrets de Chai"

THE STORY Wines subtly blended by our cellar masters to reflect their personality, sensitivity, and creativity.

THE VINTAGE High Environmental Value from the 2020 vintage

TERROIR The grapes come from late-ripening terroirs (gabbro, granite, and gneiss) that confer beautiful structure.

VINIFICATION Skin contact for a third of the crop, which brings out the grapes' fresh fruitiness. Very soft pressing and light must racking. Slow, temperature-controlled fermentation  (20°C) enhances the development of aromas. Part of the blend undergoes malolactic fermentation to increase  richness.

AGEING Long ageing on the lees (minimum 6 months) with regular bâtonnage (stirring with a stick) that enhances the wine's richness).

SERVING You can enjoy this wine chilled (10-12°C).

TASTING NOTES Pale golden colour with silver highlights. A harmonious bouquet of ripe white fruit (pear), tropical fruit (pineapple), and empyreumatic nuances (caramel). Ripe, round, and with plenty of body on the palate. The underlying vivaciousness adds freshness. Long aftertaste with subtle minerality.

FOOD PAIRING You can enjoy this wine as an aperitif or with shellfish, seafood, or fish in a sauce.
