Famille Bougrier Muscadet

The vineyards where the grapes for this muscadet are grown existed in Brittany very early in the Middle Ages. The Muscadet wine variety, originally from Burgundy, where it is called "Melon de Bourgogne” was planted in Nantes area in the beginning of the XVIII century, after having been destroyed by the terrible winter of 1709. The Muscadet variety received its recognition in 1936 when it became a wine with "appellation of origin".
