The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Muscadet is home to fascinating terroirs with distinct identities, and St. Fiacre stands out for producing some of the appellation's most exclusive wines. Domaine Tourmaline has expertly tapped into this potential, crafting whites from the rocky hillsides with gneiss soils that strike a perfect balance between ripeness, freshness, and indulgent appeal.
Wine Refined and pure, the 2022 White Muscadet Sèvre et Maine Sur Lie offers a crisp, vibrant palate with an elegant, light composition. Fresh notes of almond syrup and ripe citrus bring brightness, while its mineral-driven, taut profile leads to a saline finish. A perfect match for seafood, fish dishes, and, of course, cheeses. Rated 90/100 by the Selection Committee.
Vinification Hand harvested. Slow fermentation for 15 to 20 days with selected yeasts. Aged in stainless steel vats on the lees, bottled after light filtration.
