Located in the heart of the Appellation Muscadet Côtes de Grandlieu, four generations of winegrowers built the Domain du Haut Bourg. The first vine was planted in 1945, and today, the surface of the vineyard reaches 40 hectares.
The vineyard is entirely located in the town of Bouaye. The soil mainly contains mica schist, granite and sand. It gives good balance and richness to the wines. The lac de Grandlieu (south), the Loire river (north) and the low altitude (from 15 to 25 meters) create a microclimate characterized by low-temperature differences between day and night. This phenomenon allows an early harvest.
750 mlProduced from old vines, this wine has reached a nice level of maturity although certainly not old. Great mineral freshness on the nose while the palate is full of rich fruit complemented by an appealing salty-mineral streak. Another example of the benefits of long lees ageing, with freshness still in evidence on the finish.

Situated to the north of Lake Grandlieu, the commune of Bouaye enjoys excellent exposure. Its south-facing slopes, covered with gravel, favour early maturity. Harvested at the limit of over-ripeness, this Muscadet has been aged for 6 years on fine lees in underground tanks. Try it with fish in sauce, scallops or goat cheese. A real gastronomic Muscadet, 100% Melon de Bourgogne, as it is also known.
The average age of the vines is 35 years,a citrus-driven white wine aged sur lie (on the lees), which imparts a creamy texture as well as floral and light spice notes to the wine. This is a great wine for pairing with oysters, mussels, scallops, salads, or a grilled cheese sandwich!
From The Producer
"This Muscadet is a blending of various parcels with an average age of 35 years. Fruity and elegant, this wine is typical of the Côtes de Grandlieu wine appellation."
