Domaine de l'Ecu Muscadet Sevre-et-Maine 'Classic' 2019

Certified organic for 40+ years and biodynamic for over 20, Domaine de l’Ecu has pioneered natural viticulture in the Loire for decades, believing in the strong potential of producing terroir-driven Muscadet wines. The 2016 ‘Classic’ ferments with indigenous yeast, aging extensively on the lees. Rich, yet balanced by acidity, the wine is perfect with oysters and fresh seafood.

Domaine de l’Ecu is one of the OG organic/biodynamic viticulturalists in the Loire Valley and have farmed their vines in such a way for over forty years. The estate has also pioneered bottling wines by soil types and implements extensive lees aging in the cellar. ‘Classic’ is a crisp and clean varietal Melon de Bourgogne that ferments with native yeasts and is aged in underground steel tanks. Notes of lemon juice, flint, and cracked seashells dominate this zesty palate Pair with freshly shucked oysters for an out-of-this-world experience. 

Let this be the lemon for your oysters, as the saying goes. Zippy fresh Melon from one of the most respected guys in the Pays Nantais.
