Domaine de la Pepiere Muscadet Sevre et Maine "Clisson" 2020
ORGANIC
With this release, Marc Ollivier has produced a super-cuvee in
conjunction with a couple of other high-quality producers trying to
raise the level of Muscadet. Each must use vines of minimum 25 years of
age, but in the case of Pepiere, most are over 50 years. In addition,
the vines need to be planted on granite soils which encompass only 5% of
the appellation, followed by 24 months of aging on its lees and one year
of aging in bottle before release. Ollivier chose his Clisson vineyard
to create this wine and the result is amazing. This is a seriously
age-worthy Muscadet that has vibrancy and great complexity, with
textured Asian pear, citrus, sea salt, and mineral resolve. Do yourself
a favor and lay this wine away. You'll be glad you did!
