PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Originating from the heart of Muscadet, this wine hails from a single plot where the vine’s roots delve into silt and sandy weathered quartz over mica-schist. The winemaking process is traditional yet precise: manual harvesting, gentle pressing, and spontaneous alcoholic and malolactic fermentations. The wine ages in vats for six months, allowing its character to blossom into a true reflection of its terroir. A proper spring wine, it boasts an enchanting bouquet of white flowers. Freshness and minerality intertwine on the palate, making it a perfect match for seafood or a delightful aperitif.
"The Loire runs 1006 kilometers from its source in the Massif Central to the
Atlantic Ocean, making it the longest river in France. From grape to glass,
Pauline Lair makes minimalist wines in her urban winery in Angers, a project
fittingly named 1006 Vins de Loire. Through personal and lasting partnerships
throughout the Loire Valley, Pauline makes wines that honestly reflect their
terroirs. By selecting growers with respect for their land and who follow the
principles of organic farming, Pauline carefully monitors each plot throughout
the year to ensure only the best quality fruit is designated for her wines. Realizing
the quality potential of the vineyard work, fermentations are spontaneous, and
elevage is gentle and respectful of terroir.
Labeled by variety rather than the appellation, the range from 1006 Vins de
Loire are far from being divorced from their place of origin. Rather, Pauline’s
wines are equally satisfying for enthusiasts familiar with every nook and cranny
of the Loire’s terroirs and those just learning about this region’s diverse wealth
of varieties and regional expression."
