2020 Vignobles Günther-Chereau Queue de Morue Muscadet-Sèvre et Maine Sur Lie A family estate with character: two passionate women, Véronique & Aurore, mother & daughter, are at the head of this estate, which works in a family tradition and continuity for several generations. Authenticity & passion: the purity of the terroirs and the wines, the minerality and sharing through tasting are key positions. Expertise & elegance: the excellence of the terroirs and the finesse of our Muscadets have always been the watchwords. Queue de Corue (or “Tail of Cod”) comes from the name of the plot given internally for years. It evokes a plot in a triangle and slightly sloping and therefore more difficult to work. It is a gabbro terroir which brings freshness and salinity. However, the very sunny vintage and the harvest date bring this wine to notes of yellow fruits. This is usually the last plot harvested of the vintage. Vin Biologique / Certified organic ECOCERT For more info, visit Vignobles Günther-Chereau website.
