General Information
Domaine du Colombier Muscadet sur Lie is a beautiful expression of the unique terroir of the French Loire Valley. Made from the Melon de Bourgogne grape, this wine is known for its refined method of sur lie aging, where the wine remains resting on its dead yeast cells (‘lie’) for several months after fermentation. This results in a wine that is rich in texture with a subtly complex character. The grapes used are carefully selected for their quality and contribute to the fresh, mineral flavor profile of Muscadet.
