DESCRIPTION
Marc Ollivier is a revolutionary in the region by virtue of his commitment to chemical-free agriculture, terroir expression and age-worthy Muscadet. The 42 hectares of Pépière vineyards are inherently blessed with diverse, mineral-rich, granite-based soils and with Melon vines ranging from 20 to 100 years old. Farming is certified organic; yields are quite low; vineyard and harvest work is manual. None of these things were or are common
in Muscadet.
The wine is bone dry, crisp, bright, and mineralic. Palate is round and refreshing with flavors of lemon zest, almond, sea salt, and wet stones. This wine is a perfect wine to pair with oysters.
