Distributor's Notes:

"Domaine Haute-Févrie makes full-bodied Muscadets that express the terroir they grew on and are a benchmark for the appellation: fresh, fruity, with the slightest fizz of the "sur lie" topped by a touch of citrus fruit. Moulin de la Gustais is a cuvée made from old vines (around 40 years old) planted on the heights of Sèvre et Maine at an altitude of around 60 m. The soil is shallow and rich in gravel on a bedrock of parent rock of Gneiss and Orthogneiss (mineral-rich metamorphic rocks). The grapes are hand-harvested, which is rare for Muscadet. Whole bunch pressing and classic vinification (3 to 4 weeks) - Aged for 7 months on the lees in underground tanks."
