This is sunshine in a bottle, straight from the windswept vineyards of the Loire Valley near the Atlantic coast. The 2022 “La Berrière” Muscadet is everything we love about this region—crisp, mineral-driven, and quietly luxurious.
Crafted by Baudouin and Victor Goulaine, the 8th and 9th generation stewards of Château de la Grange, this wine hails from vines up to 60 years old and is aged for seven months on the lees with monthly bâtonnage, giving it that signature creamy texture beneath the bright citrus zing. There’s a floral lift on the nose, flashes of sea spray and wet stone, and a finish that keeps you coming back for another glass. The rocky soils and proximity to Lake Grand-Lieu create a microclimate that ripens grapes earlier, enhancing the intensity and balance of the final wine.
Whether you’re pairing it with raw oysters, mussels in white wine, or a wedge of bloomy-rind cheese, this is a white wine that delivers elegance and energy in equal measure.

Classic with a twist – traditional Muscadet with a touch more weight and roundness

From a 15th-century estate with over 240 years of family winemaking
