Le Master Muscadet Sevre et Maine 2014

Deep bright yellow color. Refined and delicate aroma with floral and dried citrus fruit aromas. Complexity, harmonious with notes of apricot. Balanced structure between fat and freshness.

Situated in the most northern part of the Nantais vineyard, the terroir of Le Master is made up of rocks from the Armorican massif. From an agronomic point of view, these soils are poor, however they are well suited to vine-growing. They promote the growth of well-ripened grapes, meeting the quality criteria of this brand. The high plantation density (7,000 vine stocks per hectare), limits the yield and fosters concentration The harvest is transformed into wine in underground vats, a common practice in this region, making use of the soil’s thermal inertia. This is even more true when it comes to the maturing stage that is carried out at a constant temperature. Aged on lees (the deposit of dead yeast after the first fermentation), this wine is stirred on a regular basis to extract their aromatic particles. They develop the wine’s ageing potential. The blends are then blind tasted to identify the one best representing le Master brand. Ageing-potential is the chief quality guiding this choice! Maturing period: 6 months on lees

In keeping with tradition, each year, our oenologists, trade partners and buyers meet up at Chateau de la Cassemichère in Muscadet in view of selecting from several blends, this great wine, born in 1984. For a long time, this castle was the private property of the Bahuaud family and Donatien even looked for hidden treasures here. Awarded medals on a regular basis, Le Master boasts good ageing potential.
