Domaine Eric Chevalier
In Loire-Atlantique, Domaine Éric Chevalier is engaged in a qualitative reinterpretation of the Pays Nantais vineyard. The estate primarily cultivates Melon de Bourgogne, as well as more niche grape varieties like Fié Gris, seeking to reveal their full potential on demanding terroirs.
The vineyard rests on gneiss and schist soils, which impart a dry structure and distinct character to the wines. Vinifications are conducted with precision to preserve the natural tension of the musts and aromatic clarity. The wines are built on straightforward balances, featuring clean fruit and mouth-watering finishes, without seeking opulence.
The estate's overall work offers a contemporary and clear interpretation of the Pays Nantais, highlighting the freshness, precision, and varietal identity. These are clear and structured wines, true to their origin and a rigorous approach to winemaking.
