Description

Brothers Michel, François and Bernard purchased Chateau de la Morinière in 1987, a 30-hectare vineyard in the Loire Valley. Here, they decided to plant a new variety for the region: Chardonnay. This was a major innovation in the Muscadet Appellation. Never standing still, the family have continued to develop the vineyards and have included experimental plantings of Viognier, Petit Manseng and Sauvignon Gris. In 2006, the new generation Amélie (daughter of Bernard) and her husband Vincent joined the Domaine. This new generation brings innovative projects with environmentally friendly alternatives to the cultivation of the vine and a creation of a new cellar.

How does it taste

Intense and complex nose with notes of white pepper and fresh ginger. The palate is powerful with good body and superb length. Located in the heart of the Appellation Muscadet Sèvre et Maine, near the village of Vallet, Domaine de la Moriniere's granitic soils and Melon de Bourgogne vines combine to create an elegant white with beautiful natural acidity and minerality. The wine is aged sur lie for ten months to provide an extra texture to balance the natural acidity and saline character making this a great pairing for all seafood.
