Katharos Muscadet Loire AOC - Chéreau Carré

The light-bodied Katharos Muscadet Loire from the pen of Chéreau Carré flows into the glass with a brilliant light yellow color. This varietal French wine reveals wonderfully youthful notes of pineapple, quince, nashi pear and apples in the glass. These are joined by hints of other fruits.

The Chéreau Carré Katharos Muscadet Loire presents itself to the wine drinker pleasantly dry. This white wine never appears coarse or meager, as one might expect from a wine in the high quality wine range. On the palate, the texture of this light-bodied white wine is wonderfully dense. In the finish, this youthful from the wine-growing region of the Val de Loire finally thrills with good length. There are again hints of Gallia melon and physalis. In the aftertaste, mineral notes of the slate-dominated soils join in.

Vinification of the Chéreau Carré Katharos Muscadet Loire

The basis for the elegant Katharos Muscadet Loire from the Val de Loire are grapes from the grape variety Melon de Bourgogne. In the Val de Loire, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on soils of slate. After the grape harvest, the grapes are immediately taken to the press house. Here they are sorted and carefully crushed. Fermentation follows in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by aging for several months on the fine lees before the wine is finally drawn off.
