About
Domaine de la Pépière Muscadet-Sèvre-et-Maine 2024 is a dry white wine made entirely from Melon de Bourgogne grapes in the Muscadet-Sèvre-et-Maine appellation of the Loire Valley, France. The vineyard follows organic / biodynamic viticulture, and the wine is fermented with indigenous yeasts and typically aged on its lees, which enhances texture and minerality. The wine expresses strong terroir character from the Granitic soils of the Pays Nantais region, with maritime influences helping maintain freshness and crispness.
Producer
On the very border of Brittany, in the village of Maisdon-sur-Sèvre, there is the Domaine de la Pépière winery. Mark, who grew up in the village of La Pepierre, created the winery in 1984. The name La Pépierre comes from the French word "pépie" (thirst). Walking over the village, on the slopes where the grapes grow, it is easy to understand the origin of the name. Over the years of development, the winery "Domaine de la Pépière" acquired new sites, closely monitored the quality and age of the vines, as well as the originality of their terroirs.
Tasting notes
On the nose, expect aromas of green apple, lemon zest, and sea spray, overlain by slatey minerality and hints of citrus blossom. The palate is crisp, lively and lean, with salinity and bright acidity driving forward flavors of lime, pear, and a touch of wet stone. The finish is refreshing and clean, with an elegant mineral backbone and long, savoury aftertaste.
Pairing
This wine pairs beautifully with oysters, shellfish or fresh seafood, where its acidity and saline notes complement the briny flavours. It also works well with goat cheese, sushi or light vegetable dishes like zucchini ribbons or salads featuring fresh herbs.
