Domaine de la Grenaudière has been in the hands of the Ollivier family for more than 200 years — although the estate dates to the 1700s — and is currently run by brothers Guy and Jean-Luc; the former tending to the vines and overseeing winemaking, the latter dealing with the business side. The brothers inherited the 74-acre estate with old hillside vines (the youngest vines are 25 years-old) that are rooted in between the rivers Sèvre and Maine, tributaries of the Loire.
The Domaine de la Grenaudière Muscadet is made from 100% Melon de Bourgogne, a blend of vines from all throughout their property with soils that range from sandy gravel to coarse clay-schist. Pale gold color with refreshing aromas of green apple, lemon and sea spray. On the palate, the wine is light bodied with a zesty acidity and slightly rounded mouthfeel from time spent aging on the lees. Enjoy with seafood pizza, raw oysters or sea bass.
