Jérémie Huchet La Pêcherie Muscadet 2023

A vibrant Muscadet made from Melon de Bourgogne vines grown on soils composed of soil, clay, silt, and gneiss. The wine is aged on its lees for 6 months giving texture and body for a lovely mouthfeel. Pale yellow in colour with green reflections with initial floral aromas which complements the fresh, zesty fruit flavours and finishes with a long, saline finish with a true representation of the terroir.

Having taken over the family estate in 2001, Jérémie has changed it beyond recognition and is seen as the up-and-coming producer in the Muscadet region. Jérémie ha grown the estate to now 64 hectares of which 1/3 certified organic, and has invested in stainless steel vats along with new underground vats and a `cubist` egg. All of his vineyards are run under organic principles of viticulture; yields are held low, work the soils without the use of fertilisers and with crop thinning when and where necessary. They leave other plants, grasses and hedgerows through the vineyards to respect biodyversity. Their Crus are harvested by hand and raised on lees for many years in concrete tank without lees stirring to preserve their character.

Perfect with scallops, langoustines of fresh vegetable dishes.
