Marc Olivier hand harvests, a rarity in the region, uses natural yeasts, waits for the wine to finish and bottles with a very light filtration. The vin yards are in old vines (40 years and older) with a particularly good exposition on a plateau overlooking the river Sèvre. All the vineyards are from original stock; Olivier is the only grower in the Muscadet who does not have a single clonal selection in his vineyards. This heroic vigneron does in Muscadet with old vines, granitic soils and low yields what others dream of in much more "serious" appellations. The 2006 Domaine de la Pépière Classique Muscadet has now arrived. It is energetic, juicy and full of life, a cool crisp slice of the Muscadet soil tempered with snappy fruit. Don’t delay.
