The fermentation is made by the indigenous yeasts that exist naturally on the grapes, it is then aged on the lees for 9 months in concrete vats. The result is a textured wine with notes of peach, honeysuckle and grapefruit with an elegant vein of minerality.
Having taken over the family estate in 2001, Jérémie has changed it beyond recognition and is seen as the up-and-coming producer in the Muscadet region. Jérémie ha grown the estate to now 64 hectares of which 1/3 certified organic, and has invested in stainless steel vats along with new underground vats and a `cubist` egg. He runs the non-organic vineyards according to the principles of sustainable viticulture; yields are held low by a minimal use of fertiliser and with crop thinning when and where necessary.
