DESCRIPTION
When Eric Chevalier took over the 63-acre Domaine de l’Aujardière from his father in 2005, he began to focus on bottling wine rather than selling grapes. He now produces a range of vin de pays as well as two Muscadets, including La Noë, from a ten-acre parcel on granite soils, where the vines are from 20 to 60 years old. As with his other wines, he ferments the fruit from this parcel in underground, glass-lined tanks without added yeast. He doesn’t rack or filter the wine, capturing its bold mineral savor in deep tones that feel close to the earth, in delicate scents of linden and white cranberries.
Within its Atlantic context, the texture is luscious and rich while the flavor is not at all sweet. This is gracious and beautiful Muscadet, a wine collectors may choose to age, and one that drinks well right now, lightly chilled, with a plateau de fruits de mer.
