Domaine de l'Ecu
Nose: full, round, with notes of citrus, fennel, spices, medicinal herbs, and bay leaf. An extremely smooth, creamy and full-bodied palate; huge volume, a rich wine, with depth and delicacy, and a long finish. Cellar this!

Fred Niger
Fred bought Domaine de l'Écu in 2010, with its perfect soils cultivated organically since 1972, then certified biodynamic by DEMETER in 1998. He’s been collaborating with Guy Bossard since 2014, the master of Muscadet. The pairing is simply miraculous. Fred, a novice at winegrowing but an unparalleled taster, knows exactly what he wants and what he intends to do for wine in the Muscadet....
