What is this wine?
Domaine de l’Epinay is a family-run estate in the Loire Valley, farming organically and crafting classic expressions of Melon de Bourgogne. This bottling comes from the Clisson cru, one of the top-ranked terroirs in Muscadet Sèvre et Maine. Clisson’s granite-rich soils and long lees aging (at least 24 months) give wines more power, depth, and longevity than standard Muscadet.

Why get this wine?
If you know Muscadet only as a crisp oyster wine, Clisson will surprise you. It shows the grape at its most serious and ageworthy, with layered texture and complexity. Domaine de l’Epinay delivers a benchmark example at a price that’s still far below Burgundy or other fine whites with similar pedigree. A must for fans of mineral-driven, terroir-focused whites.

What does this wine taste like?
Structured and elegant, with lemon, pear, and green apple framed by saline minerality, almond, and subtle leesy richness. The long granite influence gives a stony, almost smoky backbone.

When should you drink this wine?
Superb now with shellfish, grilled fish, or goat cheese, but it will reward cellaring for another 5–8 years as it develops nutty, honeyed complexity. Serve chilled.

More about Domaine de L`Epinay

Fifty-five hectares in Clisson where the Paquereau family shifted from dairy farming to wine in the 1970s. Cyrille and Sylvain converted to organic in 2011, and now they're producing Muscadet and a diverse range of Loire varieties with temperature control and sur lie aging. These are wines that prove Muscadet can be serious.

Loire Valley Wines

The Loire Valley is France’s greatest source of value for anyone looking for elegant, terroir-driven wines. Our collection celebrates the region’s great diversity, with the mineral-driven whites of Muscadet and Sancerre, the beautiful Chenin Blancs and Cabernet Francs from villages like Vouvray and Chinon, and natural wines from everywhere in the region. Sometimes wonderfully fresh and gulpable, sometimes serious and age-worthy, the prices are always very reasonable.
