The Domaine consists of approximately 13 ha of vines located in the village of Saint-Julien-de Concelles close to the city of Nantes. Many of the vines in the vineyard are over 60 years old, some up to 80 years old and are worked organically with copper, essential oils and plant teas rather than synthetic products. In the cellar the wines are vinified using indigenous yeasts and a minimal amount of sulphur. The wines are bottled without fining.
This is a pure and natural expression of old vines Melon and the schist terroir they thrive in. Cloudy straw in the glass with pretty notes of white flowers, pear, green apple and pounded stones. The palate is broad and creamy with elegant white fruit flavours boosted by succulent minerality and a creamy dash of vibrant acidity.
