Classic fresh and zesty, clean and lean Muscadet.
Domaine de la Combe (formerly Domaine les Grands Presbytères) in the village of Saint-Fiâcre, is nestled in the cradle of the Muscadet appellation between the two rivers of Sèvre and Maine.The area is considered one of the best sites for Muscadet Sèvre et Maine.
The vineyard is run by Pierre-Henri Gadais who returned to his family's domaine in 2016 to take over from his father, Christophe. Passionate about the expression of terroir and protecting the environment, Pierre-Henri is in the process of converting the vineyard to fully organic viticulture, aiming for full certification by 2021.
The wine is crisp with flinty notes and a hint of yeasty lees on the nose. The palate has a lean acidity with a slight spritz, with some bready and almost savoury citrus aromas.
This is a white wine destined to be drunk with shellfish on ice, or almost any grilled fish. It would work nicely with soft cheeses or goats cheese.

More Information
Loire Valley, France
The 600-mile stretch of the Loire River valley and its tributaries make up one of France's top wine regions. The wines include famous names such as Muscadet, Pouilly-Fumé, Vouvray, and Sancerre.
Best known for white wines, the most popular grape varieties are Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, and Melon de Bourgogne. Red wines are made with Cabernet Franc and Gamay. Some of the best examples come from Saumur Champigny.
Melon de Bourgogne is a variety of white grape grown primarily in the
Loire Valley region of France. It is best known as the only permitted
variety in Muscadet.
The grape provides a great wine with apple and citrus notes with
hints of minerality on the finish. Generally made as a still dry style,
though sometimes used in the production of Crémant.
