The wine hails from the heart of Muscadet Sèvre et Maine and derives its character from maturation on the fine lees, a traditional method that provides extra texture, freshness, and mineral tension. This is a dry, pure Loire wine with floral notes, salinity, and a remarkably refined length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"14jexaw\" data-start=\"1273\" data-end=\"1296\"\u003eVineyards and region\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1298\" data-end=\"1399\"\u003eThis Muscadet comes from Saint Fiacre sur Maine, in the heart of the Muscadet Sèvre et Maine appellation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1401\" data-end=\"1565\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1401\" data-end=\"1424\"\u003eLocation \/ Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Domaine du Grand Mouton is situated between the Sèvre and Maine rivers, a classic origin for Muscadet characterized by many crisp, mineral white wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1567\" data-end=\"1711\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1567\" data-end=\"1579\"\u003ePlot:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carte Noire comes from the Sous Bacs plot, making this cuvée more clearly defined than a general blend from the appellation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1713\" data-end=\"1888\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1713\" data-end=\"1723\"\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e The soil is dominated by gneiss with two micas.
