Domaine De La Pepiere Muscadet La Pepie 2023

served @ DB's "Red's and Whites for Seafood" Tasting 

Right at the edge of Brittany, Domaine de la Pépière is located in the village of Maisdon-sur-Sèvre. Marc, who grew up in the hamlet of La Pépière, created the estate in 1984. The name La Pépière has its root in the word ?pépie?, which means thirst. When you walk above the hamlet, on the slopes where vines are planted, it is easy to understand why the place got that name.

Winemaker Marc Ollivier hand harvests, uses natural yeasts, waits for the wine to finish and bottles with a very light filtration. The vineyards are in old vines (40 years and older) with a particularly good exposition on a plateau overlooking the river Sèvre. All the vineyards are from original stock: Ollivier is the only grower in the Muscadet who does not have a single clonal selection in his vineyards.

Winemaker Notes: La Pépie is produced with grapes coming from various plots. Some grapes come from the vines of the domaine while others come from a fellow winegrower’s vines in conversion to organic farming. These 30 year old vines on average are situated on the slopes of the river Maine.

This floral and fresh wine is perfect as an aperitif or with a meal. It's an excellent accompaniment to shellfish and crustaceans.
