Chardelon Domaine des Quatres Routes

Wine information: Muscadet producer Domaine Henri Poiron can trace its wine-making roots back to the nineteenth century. Located in the heart of the Muscadet wine region near Nantes, it had evolved from a small holding of 1.2 hectares in the 1800s to its present day size of 36 hectares. In 1947, the Poiron family were some of the first producers in their region to develop and establish direct sales of their wines via export. Today Eric Poiron, a graduate of the Beaune School of Viticulture, heads the business and carries the fantastic lineage and heritage of Muscadet winemaking into the 21st century. The family own and carefully cultivate two separate properties: Domaine des Quatre Routes situated in Maisdon sur Sevre and Domaine du Manoir, situated in la Chapelle Heulin. Domaine des Quatre Routes is nestled in one of the finest hillsides between the rivers Sevre et Maine, produces fine, light and fruity wines. Domaine du Manoir can be found in the heart of the Nantes région, in the charming village of La Chapelle Heulin. Thanks to quality soil and the exceptional exposure of its vineyard, the wines are fruity and fragrant. The grapes for this wine are harvest from vine approximately 30 years old. This is a a blend of Chardonnay and Melon de Bourgogne, the grape traditionally used for Muscadet. The Chardelon is like a Muscadet but, with the addition of the Chardonnay, it is fuller bodied with more fruit flavours, slight peach notes. Will age for 3 to 4 years and is an excellent match for all shellfish dishes or chicken dishes.
