Taurus - 2022 - Fred Niger
Domaine de l'Ecu
Elegant nose, with pronounced mineral notes, and aromas of lemon, grapefruit, white flowers, dried fruits, almond and toasted aromas. Full-bodied, opulent wine, balanced by its fine acidity and a vibrancy which sustains its equilibrium. Great length and a peppery finish. Must be decanted!

100% Melon de Bourgogne, from a rocky parcel with a granite and 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. 24 months of aging on total lees, half in amphorae and half in Stockinger (double Autrichien barrels), and then two months of blending in vats. No fining, no filtration, low sulphur.

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....
