Muscadet Le Pavillon du Roy 2020

The first Muscadet vines appeared in the south of Nantes in 1635 and it was at the Oiselinière that they were planted there. Sèvre-et-Maine is the département south-east of Nantes in the Pays Nantais region of France. These wines are known for their brightness and minerality. Chateau de Oiselinière is one of the oldest and best-situated estates in the region, dating back to 1337. As its name suggests, it is located in a bird sanctuary and natural park.

The old vines are planted exclusively on volcanic silica, which is called Gabbro soil in the region. It is the finest soil for planting Muscadet’s indigenous grape called Melon de Bourgogne
