Les Bêtes Curieuses - Muscadet sur Lie Perdrix de l'Année
Founded in 2005 by the talented winemaking duo of Jérémie Huchet (Domaine de la Chauvinière) and Jérémie Mourat (Vignobles Mourat), Les Betes Curieuses (The Curious Beasts) is a collaboration to explore the distinct terroirs of Muscadet and showcase a more serious and ageworthy side of the region. All the vineyards (40 to 90 yrs old) are certified organic. Traditional Nantaise ageing is done sur lie with no batonnage for all the cuvées.
100% Melon de Bourgogne. Perdrix de l’Année is translated as ‘Partridge of the Year’ - Organic. 45 years old average vines grown on Clisson granitic base with a top layer of sand. Hand harvested. No destemming, indigenous yeast, no malolactic. Aged 3 months on lees in buried concrete tanks.
Round, fruit-filled, Muscadet - almost creamy in texture - with a touch of peach to complement the salty mineral and lime zest. Brisk, bracing, and utterly delicious.
