More About Domaine de la Fessardière Muscadet, l’Air du Temps 2018

The Domaine de la Fessardière Muscadet “L’Air du Temps” 2018 is a beautifully aged, organic Loire white made from 100% Melon de Bourgogne grown on mica-schist soils in Vallet.

 It spent 36 months on its fine lees in a mix of large old oak foudres and underground tanks, developing a rich texture and minerality. 

On the nose and palate there are citrus fruits, smoky and stony edges, with a round, lively mouthfeel and a saline, persistent finish

Meet the Producer, Domaine de la Fessardière

Domaine de la Fessardière

Style: Winery

Muscadet does not get anywhere near the love it deserves, which honestly is excellent news for people who enjoy crisp mineral white wine without Burgundy-level pricing attached. Domaine de la Fessardière sits right in the heart of that wonderfully underrated Loire Valley world, producing beautifully fresh Muscadet that feels built specifically for oysters, seafood and accidentally ordering another bottle.

The domaine farms organically around the Sèvre-et-Maine area, focusing heavily on Melon de Bourgogne, which remains one of the wine world’s most unfairly overlooked grapes. Done badly, Muscadet can feel thin and forgettable. Done properly, like here, it becomes salty, citrusy, mineral and ridiculously refreshing.

The wines lean clean and vibrant with loads of lemon peel, green apple, sea spray and chalky freshness. Sur Lie ageing adds texture and softness without taking away the razor-sharp acidity that makes the wines so addictive in the first place.

There’s also a lovely simplicity to the whole thing. No flashy oak, no overcomplicated winemaking and absolutely no need to explain terroir diagrams for forty minutes before opening the bottle. Just pure Loire freshness and very drinkable wine.

Muscadet has always been one of France’s great seafood wines. Domaine de la Fessardière makes a very convincing argument that it deserves far more attention in general.
