- This Muscadet Sèvre et Maine emerges from metamorphic rock—orthogneiss itself—which imparts a distinctive mineral character. The result is a wine of considerable finesse and geological authenticity.
- Orthogneiss is a pure, complex and elegant white. It pairs beautifully with shellfish, grilled fish, and delicate seafood preparations, whilst standing alone as a contemplative aperitif.

Breeding
Aged on fine lees for several months, adding volume and complexity whilst preserving the wine's natural freshness
On the eye
Pale yellow with green glints. Bright and limpid.
On the nose
Fresh and layered: flint, lemon zest, white flowers and a subtle iodine character. The nose speaks clearly of its coastal Loire provenance.
In the mouth
Taut and vibrant with good salinity. Citrus and green apple notes lead to a persistent, mineral finish. The acidity is well-integrated and food-friendly.
Orthogneiss exemplifies what serious Muscadet can achieve. Its precision and mineral expression reflect both terroir and the domaine's organic philosophy. A wine of genuine character—neither heavy nor austere—it rewards those seeking authentic Loire expression. Essential for enthusiasts of mineral-driven whites.

DOMAINE DE L'ECU
Based at Le Landreau in Loire-Atlantique, Domaine de l'Ecu farms 24 hectares of Muscadet under full Demeter-certified biodynamic principles. Founded in 1972 by Guy Bossard — one of the appellation's earliest organic pioneers — the estate was taken over in 2010 by Fred Niger, who has since pushed the approach further still: amphora vinification and parcel-specific cuvées declinated by soil type, across Gneiss, Orthogneiss, and Granite. At Halles Quercamps, we have selected this estate for the rigour of its viticulture, the geological clarity of its terroirs, and the character of its Melon de Bourgogne whites. For those seeking a Muscadet of genuine substance, this is a serious address.
