Domaine de la Pepiere 2022 Muscadet Clisson 750ml

Beginning in 2005, Marc Ollivier at Pépière produced this beautiful cuvée from a small parcel of 50 to 100 year-old vines within the Pépière vineyard. Originally called "Granite de Clisson" after the unique bedrock in the vineyard, Marc changed the name to "Clisson" to agree with the new INAO Cru Communal classification. The granite is covered with gravel and clay with large stones, ensuring good drainage and deep penetration by the roots into the fissures in the bedrock, bringing the mineral elements indispensable to this wine. Not produced in 2021 due to frost, the 2022 spent 2 years on the lees before bottling and offers a ripe, elegant, full-bodied style that will drink beautifully young and will develop further over 15 to 20 years.
