- Subtle citrus aromas lead to palate with floral notes and juicy citrus fruit. Maturation on its fine lees "Sur Lie", imparts a depth, texture and a delicate spritz while retaining characteristic crisp acidity and bright, fresh minerality.
The grapes come from a specific parcel at the Chateau de Chasseloir, carefully selected for its position on a south facing slope, which produces berries that achieve good levels of maturity. The schistous soil imparts a balancing, refreshing character to the wine. The vines are carefully managed respecting the environment; herbicides are not used and the soil is ploughed to eliminate grass between the vines. The grapes are manually harvested at optimal ripeness.
Chéreau-Carré is one of the leading Muscadet producers with substantial family owned vineyards in some of the best locations in the region. Their vineyard area totals 135 hectares of the highest quality soil, making them one of the largest producers of Muscadet. The estate is cultivated sustainably and holds the HVE certification. The wide variety of 'terroirs' available within the estate enables Bernard Chéreau to offer a comprehensive selection of styles including those bottled 'sur lie' where the wine is
drawn straight off the lees prior to bottling, resulting in a wine with more weight and complexity.
