Alcohol: 12.0 %
Grape(s): 100 % Melon de Bourgogne
Location: Muscadet Sèvre-et-Maine AOC, Loire Valley, France (La Pépie cuvée)
Tasting Notes: Pale straw with green highlights. The nose offers bright citrus, green apple and white flowers with subtle wet-stone/mineral notes. On the palate, it is crisp and lively, showing lemon zest, pear, and saline minerality, with a creamy mid-palate from sur lie aging and a clean, bracing finish.
Notes: Domaine de la Pépière Muscadet Sèvre-et-Maine Sur Lie "La Pépie" is produced from sustainably tended vineyards and aged on the lees to build texture and complexity while preserving freshness. The sur lie technique gives the wine added creaminess and length without masking its saline, terroir-driven character.
Food Pairing: Superb with oysters and shellfish, steamed mussels, light fish dishes, seafood salads, and goat cheeses.
Winery Story: Domaine de la Pépière is a longtime Muscadet producer noted for expressive, terroir-focused wines and commitment to sustainable viticulture. Their Sur Lie bottlings celebrate the region’s maritime influence and the Melon de Bourgogne variety’s bright, mineral profile.
