About the winemaker
"If Burgundy's Domaine Leroy made Muscadet, it would be Domaine de l’Ecu.” - Matt Kramer, Wine Spectator - Wines of the Year
The vineyards of Domaine de l'Ecu have been certified organic for over 40 years and certified biodynamic for over 20 years. An unshakeable belief in the unique terroirs of Muscadet have inspired vinification and bottling based on soil type, as opposed to appellation blends, resulting in the famed terroir wines from the subsoils of Gneiss, Orthogneiss and Granite. The wines are aged surlie for 15-18 months, resulting in a texture and layered complexity that have come to define the unique style of Domaine de l'Ecu Muscadets, and set them apart from other wines in the appellation.
