Henri Poiron Muscadet Domaine du Manoir AOC Sèvre et Maine sur Lie

Description

Henri Poiron Muscadet Domaine du Manoir is Poiron’s “main” Muscadet wine and is a classic match for seafood dishes.

Domaine Henri Poiron et Fils can trace its wine-making roots back to the nineteenth century. Located in the heart of the Muscadet wine region near Nantes, it has 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.

Henri Poiron Muscadet Domaine du Manoir is made from 100% Melon de Bourgogne grapes.

Poiron also makes a great Gros Plant (a perfect match for oysters) and some Muscadet Cru Communaux including the Goulaine and the Monnieres Saint Fiacre.
