This wine, from a 29-hectare organic vineyard, is distinguished by its oceanic character.
The proximity of the Atlantic coast, the richness of Lac de Grandlieu (recognized as the largest natural lowland lake in France), and its location at the westernmost tip of the Loire Valley give Domaine Eric Chevalier a privileged climate. Between the mildness of the lake and the salinity of the oceanic facade, the wines are marked "by where they were born."
The 20 and 10-year-old vines, planted on sandy and silty soils, are entirely dedicated to Fié Gris (rosé Sauvignon). Winemaking includes manual harvesting, whole-bunch maceration, and aging on lees for 11 to 12 months.
