Production Area
Muscadet comes from the far western area at the mouth of the Loire River, south of the city of Nantes. The source of our Muscadet is the “Sèvre-et-Maine” area, planted with over 25,000 acres of vines. The soil is a mixture of volcanic and metamorphic rocks, with gneiss and micaschists. Muscadet is an international success story with humble origins as a favorite local wine that pairs perfectly with seafood.
