What is this wine?
Pierre-Henri Gadais’ Muscadet Monnières-Saint-Fiacre “1947” 2020 is a single-vineyard Melon de Bourgogne from one of the Loire Valley’s top Muscadet crus. The Gadais family, long respected for their work in the region, farms organically on gneiss and orthogneiss soils in the cru village of Monnières-Saint-Fiacre. The wine is fermented with native yeasts and aged for more than two years on its lees in underground glass-lined tanks, a traditional Muscadet method that builds texture, depth, and saline complexity. The “1947” name honors the year this vineyard was first planted by the family.
Why get this wine?
This is Muscadet at its most profound—a far cry from the simple, briny whites the region is often known for. The Monnières-Saint-Fiacre “1947” 2020 offers extraordinary precision, minerality, and aging potential, rivaling fine white Burgundy in elegance and depth. Pierre-Henri Gadais, part of the new generation redefining the appellation, has crafted a benchmark Loire white of purity and grace.
What does this wine taste like?
Tense and layered, with aromas of lemon peel, white peach, and crushed stone. The palate is dry and textured, showing citrus, sea spray, and a long, chalky finish driven by vibrant acidity.
When should you drink this wine?
Beautiful now for its freshness, but will evolve gracefully through 2035. Ideal with oysters, scallops, or goat cheese. Serve well-chilled.
