Muscadet Sevre et Maine, Michel Delhommeau - Clos Armand, Loire, France 2019
£30
Clos Armand was planted in 1945 on soils comprised of primarily weathered gabbro – a type of coarse-grained basalt found around the village of Monnières and Gorges. Later Michel’s Grandfather expanded his plantings of Melon in Clos Armand, so the age of these vines ranges between 40-70+ years old. Due to the age of the vines and the terroir, Clos Armand tends to be the richest and most voluminous of the Muscadets made by Michel Delhommeau.
