Pepiere "La Pepie" Muscadet Sevre-et-Maine

Subtle aromas of lime-flower, citrus, ripe pear, wet stone and fresh herbs. The palate is dense with white fruits, lemon and stone with hints of anise backed by firm citrusy acids and mineral flavors - really refreshing and delicious.

In 2016, Pépière's classic, earliest-release  bottling saw an addition to the label, the "La Pépie" moniker, because of the necessity of adding non-estate fruit to the production (Pépière had 85% of their own crop devastated in 2016 due to mildew). It marks the first time the estate has purchased fruit. It comes from neighboring parcels that match their terroirs and work philosophy. The wine is a combination of said purchased fruit and estate fruit, 50% of which comes from vineyards that could technically produce cru bottlings.
