Domaine de l'Ecu
A simple yet elegant Chard, straightforward. With iodised and citrus notes. Palate: a clean attack, lovely bitter notes, supple, with a citrusy, iodised finish... The perfect pairing for a plate of oysters!

100% Chardonnay. Grapes from a parcel growing on an orthogneiss subsoil, certified organic since 1975 and biodynamic by Demeter since 1998. The grapes are 100% collected by hand, the reception of the harvest is done by gravity, thus without the use of pumps, pneumatic pressing, no clarification and 100% indigenous yeasts. Maturation in concrete vats for 12 months. No fining, no filtration, bottled at the estate according to 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....
