Domaine de la Pépière "Les Gras Moutons" Muscadet Sèvre et Maine 2018

As for all Pepière wines, the fruit is direct-pressed and the juice settled naturally for 12 hours. It is then fermented in stainless steel tanks with natural yeasts; the wine is aged on its lees in large vats--9 months in the case of Gras Moutons-- until bottling without fining or filtering. Use of sulfur is moderate to very little. Gras Moutons is notably rich, with a creamy, velvety texture wrapped around a strong mineral and acid core and with a finish of incredible length.
