THIS WINE’S STORY
This cuvée is part of the range “Terroirs” with “Fief des Coteaux” and “Fief Seigneur”. The appellation for these wines is “Muscadet Sèvre et Maine”. Clos de la Févrie is orthogneiss whereas Fief des Coteaux is gabbro and Fief Seigneur is gneiss. The wines have the same grape, the same vinification, but they have different terroirs, and this makes the difference.
