Domaine Lucas Salmon - Les Brosses

Presentation of Domaine Lucas Salmon - Les Brosses

Discover the Les Brosses vintage from Domaine Lucas Salmon. This Loire white wine in AOP Muscadet is made from a 1.80 hectare plot located on a hillside to the right of the village. The vines range from 35 years old to 81 years old. The soil is rather similar to the Terroirs vintage but in several places on the plot, veins of rocks emerge from the surface of the soil. A wine with a beautiful minerality that will blossom over time. Also drink now with aeration beforehand to enjoy this lovely vintage. Bottled under inert gas, without fining or filtration.

The Lucas-Salmon Estate extends over the communes of Château-Thébaud and Vertou, through which the Sèvre and the Maine pass, two rivers which meander between the hillsides of the Nantes vineyards. The vineyard's proximity to the sea offers saline and oceanic wines known for their freshness and minerality. Mikaël Salmon created his estate in organic conversion on 7 hectares, he selected several fairly specific terroirs to produce only single-plot vintages in white and red (Melon Blanc, Folle Blanche, Gamay and Pinot Noir).
