2017 Muscadet de Sèvre et Maine sur lie, Grand Mouton, Louis Métaireau

The gnarled 80 year old vines give this Muscadet amazing concentration, making it perhaps the most ageworthy example of the style we’ve found. The precision of flavour is superb, with fresh citrus, minerality and creamy richness combining.

2017 Muscadet de Sèvre et Maine sur lie, Grand Mouton, Louis Métaireau
Louis Metaireau

The name of this domaine has disappointingly little to do with sheep: rather, Mouton comes from the French word for a small hill, Motte. Sèvre et Maine is probably Muscadet’s most famous area, and Marie-Luce Métaireau and Jean-François Guilbaud have, since 1988, crafted one of the very best examples. This is their flagship wine, and comes from vines that date back to 1937, giving serious density and concentration.
