The soil
An altered form of magmatic rock called ‘gabbro’ is the key to the exceptional depth of these wines. Vines are South-west oriented.
Production
Low yields make this Muscadet a concentrate of fruit and minerality.
Vinification and ageing
Manual harvesting in the best conditions. Immediate pneumatic pressing. Grape juice received by gravity without pumping. Fermentation lasts 20 days with temperature control. Aeration on the second day of fermentation to multiply the indigenous yeasts. Aged for 18 months in underground glass-walled vats until bottling.
“La Tour Gallus 2023, a beautiful example of straight Melon, sets the tone for these subtle, nuanced whites. Fleur de Gabbro takes things a step further in terms of exoticism and richness, with the same beautifully sculpting bitter notes on the finish. A magnificent expression of the terroir in the Gorges 2019, which seems much younger than its age.”
