Memoria - 2019 - Fred Niger
Domaine de l'Ecu
A nose with notes of minerals and fresh herbs, lemon and verbena, white flowers, ripe yellow fruits, and sun-warmed rock... The palate is dense and complex, and very expressive, with lively tension, rounded mouth-feel and a precise, chiselled finish with subtle saline notes.

A collaborative cuvée, produced by three vignerons – Fred with Céline and Isabelle Meyer of Domaine Josmeyer in Alsace. 100% Riesling from old vines planted on the Hengst and Le Chalet vineyard sites, covering a total of one hectare, with marl and limestone soils and alluvium. The grapes are harvested by hand, with yields around 40 hl/ha. Natural vinification with zero additives: after a long, six-hour pneumatic pressing, with indigenous yeasts, the wine is matured 9 months in amphorae. Unfined, unfiltered, and no added sulphites.

Fred Niger
Fred bought Domaine de l'Écu in 2010, with its perfect soils cultivated organically since 1972, then certified biodynamic by DEMETER in 1998. He’s been collaborating with Guy Bossard since 2014, the master of Muscadet. The pairing is simply miraculous. Fred, a novice at winegrowing but an unparalleled taster, knows exactly what he wants and what he intends to do for wine in the Muscadet....
