Muscadet Sèvre-et-Maine Sur Lie "La Pépie"
France

2024

100% Melon de Bourgogne. Classic Muscadet on granite. The "La Pépie" Sur Lie bottling comes from the heart of the Pépière domaine, ten hectares in the Clisson cru in the tiny commune of Pépière near the winery. This certified-biodynamic estate fruit is around 2/3 of the blend; the remaining 1/3 is vinified from purchased fruit from organically farmed vines aged 20-70 years. Harvest is done by hand. The bunches are direct-pressed and the juice settled for 12 hours. It is fermented in stainless steel tanks with natural yeasts; the wine is aged on its lees for 6-8 months in large, underground, glass-lined cement tanks. It is bottled without filtration.
