The Story: In 2001 Jérémie Huchet, took the lead of the family domaine, specialized in the production of Muscadet. Today the vineyards extend over four different terroirs: the Domaine de la Chauviniere, on the slopes of Maine (Château Thébaud granite); the Clos des Montys, on the hill of Goulaine marsh; the Château de la Bretesche, in the area of the Sèvre; the Templerie, a well ventilated hill over Clisson granite. The winery currently operates 50% in organic farming (the remaining 50% is in conversion). Indigenous yeasts, leading-edge technologies, long maturation on the lees and a particular attention to separated vinification of the grapes, are the key to obtaining the best expression on every single terroir in Jérémie's Muscadets.
Personality: Bone dry, elegant and sensual, a mineral monolith.
Harmony: The excessive minerality on this wine is sublime, and alas a perfect pairing for freshly shucked Hama Hama oysters. Other bivalves will match just as eagerly. why not abalone, conch, or surf clam sashimi? French fries topped w/ fresh garlic, feta, & oregano with a side of aioli.
