Description
Cherreau-Carre is one of the leading Muscadet producers with substantial family owned vineyards in some of the best locations in the region. Their vineyard area totals 267 acres of the highest quality soil, making them one of the largest producers of Muscadet. The wide variety of terroirs available within the estate enables Bernard Cheareau to offer a comprehensive selection of styles including those bottled sur lie where the wine is drawn straight off the lees prior to bottling, resulting in a wine with more weight and complexity.
Harvest: Harvest throughout September
Wine making process: fermentation with control of temperature, aging on lees from 6 to 9 months,“bâtonnage”.
Terroir: schistuous soil, south exposure
Vine age: 5-20 years old.
Tasting notes
Clean tasting with crisp acidity and a bright, fresh minerality. This is an excellent Muscadet, light and refreshing. Nice nose of apple and citrus with long lasting aftertaste. Simple but brilliant.
Food pairing
Served chilled as an apéritif, this is also an absolute classic paired with shellfish and seafood platters.
Estate
Domaine Chéreau Carré occupies one of the most privileged positions in the heart of the Muscadet Sèvre-et-Maine appellation. This family-owned winery has been an innovator since the 1960’s by focusing on quality through their exploration of numerous single vineyards.
Chéreau Carré has assembled some of the most prized old vineyards in the region. First and foremost, this is a terroir driven Domaine, with two generations working closely together, striving for the purest expression at each of their four wine producing estates.
