The Gras Moutons cuvée comes from a unique terroir situated on a hill overlooking the Maine River in Saint-Fiacre. The clay-siliceous soil and the layered gneiss subsoil encourage the vines to develop deep roots. The grapes are carefully harvested by hand, and the pneumatic press receives the berries by gravity, preserving their integrity. Natural fermentation takes place in underground vats, followed by 10 months of aging on the lees with regular stirring, to achieve a silky texture.

Domaine de la Pépière
La Pépière often begins with the soil: granite, gabbro, orthogneiss… each vintage tells a story of the geology. In Maisdon-sur-Sèvre, Melon de Bourgogne expresses itself with rare clarity, supported by extended aging on the lees that adds body without heaviness. The wines retain a crystalline profile, marked by precise tension and subtle minerality. A short sentence. Their consistency is impressive, as is their aging potential, thanks to a perfectly maintained balance.
