| Château du Coing de Saint Fiacre | |
|---|---|
| Appellation | Muscadet Sèvre et Maine sur lie |
| Grape variety | Melon B. |

| Terroir | A unique terroir, as the vines are planted at the confluence of two rivers, the Sèvre and the Maine, on a south-facing slope. Metamorphic bedrock: two-mica and garnet gneiss, covered with shallow soil. Micaschist and amphibolite can also be found. |
| Winemaking methods | Kept on lees for 14 months, in underground glass-tiled vats, which are traditional to the Nantais wine region. No stirring of lees. |
| Tasting | The terroir brings finesse and elegance to this wine. White fruits and grapefruit on the nose. Gunflint aromas. Powerful, mineral-driven palate. Very long finish. Body and roundness, with nice balance. |
| Recommended with… | Shellfish, noble sea and river fish, selected cheeses or hors d’oeuvres. Enjoy chilled at approximately 12°C. |
