2022 Pierre Henri Muscadet Sevre et Maine Sur Lie Saint-Fiacre

About the Wine

Crafted by fifth-generation winemaker Pierre-Henri Gadais, this cuvée comes from the prized Saint-Fiacre area, where the Sèvre and Maine rivers surround an “island” of ancient granite and schist-clay soils.

These unique conditions create a natural balance of climate and terroir, allowing old vines—many planted in the 1950s or earlier—to thrive. Produced entirely from Melon de Bourgogne and aged sur lie, it delivers a touch of creamy texture that enriches the wine’s trademark freshness and precision.

Pierre-Henri Gadais 2022 Muscadet de Sèvre-et-Maine “Saint-Fiacre” Sur-Lie is Muscadet at its most thrilling—laser-focused, crystalline, and bursting with energy. Waves of orchard fruit glide over a sleek mineral core, while a rush of saline vibrancy leaves an unforgettable, mouthwatering finish. Pure, flinty, and electrifying, it’s a brilliant homage to the legendary terroir of Saint-Fiacre.

Tasting Notes 

100% Melon de Bourgogne (Muscadet) 

Bursting with zesty citrus—think tangy lime and juicy grapefruit—this wine lifts from the glass with layers of pear, blossoming white flowers, and a touch of orchard freshness. On the palate, its lively acidity crackles with energy, wrapped in a mouthwatering wave of saline minerality.

Creamy yet vibrant, the texture owes its depth to time spent on the lees, giving the wine an unexpected weight that never loses finesse. The finish is long and dazzling, marked by shimmering minerality, a kiss of briny creaminess, and a refreshing, crystalline snap.
