Single-site, certified-organic Muscadet from 60–70-year-old vines on gabbro, offering more depth and texture than typical Muscadet while retaining crisp, saline freshness.

About the wine

Old-vine Muscadet from gabbro soils in Monnières, with a pure, juicy palate and more depth and texture than a simple aperitif white. A sustained mineral finish keeps the wine lively, balancing its concentration with freshness.

About Michel Delhommeau

Michel Delhommeau’s family domaine, Les Vignes Saint Vincent, is based at Monnières, south of Nantes in the Muscadet vineyards. The estate farms organically and works with Melon de Bourgogne, the local grape behind Muscadet Sèvre et Maine. Its approach emphasises the relationship between each site, controlled yields and time spent ageing on the lees. Alongside its Muscadet sur lie bottlings, the domaine explores the more extended ageing and vineyard selection associated with the Monnières–Saint-Fiacre cru.
