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.
