About The Winery:

The Louis Metaireau Grand Mouton Domain is located between the Sèvre and Maine rivers, at the heart of the Muscadet Appellation, in the commune of Saint Fiacre sur Maine. The old vines, some of which were planted in 1937, are deeply rooted in an exceptional terroir composed of gneiss, granite, and amphibolite, which give the wine its mineral overtones and freshness. To preserve our older vines for many years to come, we harvest them by hand. We also choose to apply sustainable agricultural techniques or "lutte raisonné", which involves minimising the use of chemicals wherever possible; this method respects the environment and requires precise and constant monitoring of our vines.

After the harvest in September, what happens in our cellars? After resting on their lees over the winter in our concrete and glass vats, the cuvées are rigorously selected before being bottled in spring. This maturation phase or "mise sur lie" is an ancestral, artisanal practice. In the spring following each harvest, the wine is siphoned off from above its lees, without stirring or filtering beforehand. To continue this tradition, the majority of our production is bottled in this manner, via simple gravity.
