100% MELON DE BOURGOGNE
Husband and wife team Jeremie and Claire Batard-Langelier are dedicated to producing wines that express Muscadet’s terroir while also introducing a new perspective of this classic region. The estate is nearly 60 acres planted mostly with Melon de Bourgogne and a small portion of Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Chemical fertilizers were abandoned in the vineyard in 1995, and in 2014 they began the conversion to full on organic farming. ‘Polaris,’ their flagship wine, is sourced from granitic soils whose elevated pH promotes high acidity and layered aromas and flavors that can develop for years. A fresh, delicate nose introduces flavors of tart lemon and lime with a salty mineral-driven finish.
