2025 Domaine de la Pepiere, Muscadet Sevre et Maine Clos des Briords Sur Lie Cuvee Vieilles Vignes - Magnum

Domaine de la Pépière is situated in the village of Maisdon-sur-Sèvre and has been a benchmark for the region since its founding in 1984. This wine is made from Melon de Bourgogne vines aged between 50 and 70 years, which are planted in the thin, porous soils of the Clos Briords lieu-dit, rich in Château-Thébaud granite. In the glass, the wine displays focused notes of lemon zest, green apple, and a distinct saline minerality, supported by a firm, structured texture. The 2025 vintage provided favorable conditions for balanced ripeness, allowing the wine to maintain its characteristic tension and depth. This magnum is well-suited for long-term cellaring, though it remains a grounded, reliable choice for those looking for a wine with significant aging potential.
