Faust - 2022 - Fred Niger
Domaine de l'Ecu
Notes of fig, quince, fresh apricot and bitter orange peel. Clean and pure, very dry, taut wine whose aromas develop mid-palate, becoming only more charming and enjoyable. Smooth tannins and lovely volume. A deep and delicate wine, endowed with chiselled fruit and notes of sweet spices.

100% Chardonnay from vines cultivated biodynamically and planted on a beautiful terroir with an orthogneiss subsoil. Harvesting is done by hand followed by very respectful vinification: the grapes are de-stemmed and moved into vats by hand, where they undergo 12 months of skin contact maceration in amphorae. No pumps are used at any time, and the wine is bottled by hand, without fining, filtration and respecting the biodynamic calendar.

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....
