Domaine Bonnet-Huteau in La Chapelle-Heulin, in the very heart of Muscadet’s winemaking region and the Sèvre et Maine appellation, has been producing Muscadet for over 150 years. Today it is run by the Bonnet brothers, Jean-Jacques and Rémi. This 40 hectare vineyard has been certified organic since 2005 and there is separate winemaking for four parcels in order to highlight the nuances and subtlety of their respective terroirs. Producing white wines only, the domaine is mainly planted with Melon de Bourgogne. These wines are characterised by their great aromatic intensity.

This Muscadet-Sèvre-et-Maine-sur-lie was crafted to reveal the complexity and mineral power of its terroir. For this, Domaine Bonnet-Huteau grows its Melon de Bourgogne grapes organically and biodynamically with yields limited to 40 hectolitres per hectare. Aged between 15 to 30 years, the vines benefit from shallow, orthogneiss soil. The domain has banned all herbicides and chemical products, encouraging microbial life in the soil and ploughing the earth.
The grapes are vinified traditionally at a tightly controlled temperature. Wild yeasts are preserved to allow the terroir to express itself. The wine is then matured for 9 months on lees.
In the glass we find a pale golden wine. Its aromatic bouquet is lively and mineral, completed by notes of citrus. These aromas continue on the palate, promising lovely pairings with seafood dishes.
