two-thirds of Muscadet are grown in this area. The appellation is named after the Nantes branch of the Sèvre river and its tributary, the Petite Maine. 23 towns and villages with a combined area under vine of 10,000 hectares are entitled to the appellation. The soil, underpinned by an Armorican base, is varied: granite, shale, gabbro (dark brown soils) and gneiss, which promotes a certain diversity in wine styles within the appellation.

Muscadet sur Lie denotes a wine that has spent the winter in tanks on its lees allowing it to gain in complexity, finesse and bouquet. Muscadet de Sèvre-et-Maine displays a pale golden hue and reveals floral (acacia), fruity (unripe fruit, citronella, fresh grapes) and mineral fragrances. It is the perfect match for oysters, scallops, pike in a hot butter sauce, sole or crayfish fricassee.
