The vineyard is located at the confluence of the Sèvre and Maine, on a south facing slope of 15 degrees. The soil has a metamorphic origin: gneiss with two micas and garnet, covered with a thin soil.

Vinified on Lies for 6 months, in underground glass tanks, typical of the Nantes vineyards.

The terroir brings finesse and elegance. A nose with white fruits, grapefruit. Flinty aromas and mineral palate. Very nice length in the mouth. Bold and round with a nice balance.

Drink with seafood, fresh water fish, select cheeses, or as an aperitif.

This chateau in Gorges, in the heart of the Nantais wine region, is one of the oldest winegrowing estates in Muscadet. It once covered 300 hectares, but was divided up following the Vendee Wars. Today’s estate stretches over a 17-hectare hillside. At the top of the hill there is a windmill which is typical of those found in the local area.

The Melon B. variety was introduced in the region following the great frost of 1709 which destroyed all the vines in the area. This variety originating in Burgundy was widely adopted after proving very well suited to the winegrowing conditions of the region.

Château de la Gravelle has a rather unique terroir as its subsoil is composed of a volcanic rock called gabbro, covered with a 40cm layer of clay. This unusual soil gives the wines distinctive minerality and lemony notes.
