ABOUT THIS WINE
Beau Marin Muscadet from Sarl Gilbert Chon is a 100% Melon de Bourgogne from the Muscadet Sèvre et Maine AOC in the Loire Valley's Pays Nantais sub-region. The Chon family's winemaking tradition dates back to 1670, with the current generation continuing their legacy. The vineyards are situated on a variety of geological terroirs, including granite, gneiss, schist, and gabbro soils, which are believed to contribute to the wine's minerality. The estate manages around 70 hectares of vines. The 2023 vintage benefited from favorable weather conditions, leading to good grape ripeness and concentration.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Beau Marin Muscadet is produced from 100% Melon de Bourgogne grapes. The winemaking process typically involves fermentation at controlled temperatures to preserve freshness. Wines from the Muscadet Sèvre et Maine appellation are often aged 'sur lie', where the wine rests on its fine lees for a period, which can add texture and complexity. The duration of this aging process varies by subzone. The 2023 vintage benefited from favorable weather, contributing to grape ripeness.
