In the far west of France’s Loire River Valley where it drains into the Atlantic is Sevre et Maine, the historical home of Muscadet. Domaine de La Pepiere farms biodynamically on predominantly stone-rich and mineral heavy soils, crafting their wines with minimal intervention. This wine is an ode to their neighbours. When frost effected 95% of Pepiere’s production in 2021, two of his neighbours came together and supplied the domaine with their finished wine for Domaine de La Pepiere to be able to sell another 2020 vintage to help make up some costs. This cuvee will hopefully be the only of its kind.
