La Pepie Muscadet 2024

Lively fruit aromas of  green apple and citrus are complemented by lovely floral, mineral and sea spray notes. These attributes are echoed on the zesty, well-textured palate with zippy acidity carrying through a long finish. Outstanding value Muscadet! - D&M TASTING NOTES

IMPORTER NOTES:

OVERVIEW: “The La Pépie cuvée is a blend of estate fruit from all of Pépière's terroirs, 50% of which fall within the Muscadet Sèvre & Maine appellation and 50% within the crus. Since 2016, the cuvée is is supplemented with purchased fruit from neighboring parcels with similar characteristics. This decision was not made lightly and results from a series of unsustainably low crops.”

WINEMAKING: “The fruit is direct pressed and the juice settles naturally for 12 hours. It is then fermented in stainless steel tanks with natural yeasts; the wine is aged on its lees in large, underground glass-lined vats until bottling the following spring. S02 additions are three to five grams after alcoholic fermentation with a possible adjustment at bottling.”
