Vignoble Drouard, Les Trois Terroirs Muscadet Sèvre Et Maine Sur Lie, 2025, Muscadet Sèvre Et Maine Sur Lie (AOC)

'One-Liner'
A bright, lemony Muscadet with white fruit, a gentle leesy roundness and a lovely salty-fresh finish.

Tasting Note
Pale yellow in the glass with light golden hints. The nose leans into white fruit and citrus, with a faint hazelnut note in the background. On the palate it is crisp and lively, with lemony fruit, a slight natural spritz and that fresh, saline-edged feel that makes good Muscadet so useful at the table. Clean, elegant and very easy to enjoy.

The Story
This wine comes from Vignoble Drouard’s Domaine de la Noë, a family estate founded in 1878 and now spanning around 74 hectares in Muscadet country. The estate works with low yields, old vines and a range of soils, which helps explain the name “Les Trois Terroirs”. Stylistically, it lands exactly where good Muscadet should – fresh, citrusy and lightly saline, but with a bit more texture from lees ageing than a very simple coastal white.
