Discover the essence of Muscadet's terroir with the Pepiere Muscadet Sèvre et Maine Sur Lie "Gras Moutons" 2022. Hailing from the esteemed cru of Monnières-St. Fiacre, this 100% Melon de Bourgogne wine showcases the unique character of the 'Gras Moutons' lieu-dit, a sun-drenched slope with sandy, gravelly soils rich in amphibolite and gneiss.
Carefully crafted by Domaine de la Pépière, this wine is a testament to organic and biodynamic practices, with meticulous hand-harvesting and natural fermentation. Aged for nine months on its lees in underground glass-lined cement tanks, the "Gras Moutons" 2022 emerges with a vibrant and complex profile.
Acclaimed wine critic John Gilman awards this wine an impressive 94 points, praising its "precise and complex bouquet of lemon, breadfruit, wet stone minerality, dried flowers and a discreet foundation of leesy tones." The palate is described as "vibrant, full-bodied, focused and complex," with remarkable depth, mineral drive, zesty acidity, and an exceptionally long, balanced finish.
Experience the artistry of Pepiere and the captivating terroir of Monnières-St. Fiacre in this superb Muscadet, perfect for pairing with seafood, poultry, or simply savoring on its own.
