Domaine de l'Ecu
A nose of strawberries, raspberries and blackberries, with hints of smoke... With luscious, delicate texture, and the beautiful freshness of the Loire. In the words of Fred: "It dances, it's pure, fresh and juicy – it’s just good! Decanting is recommended in its youth.

Collaborative cuvée made with a friend from Menetou-Salon – Philippe Gilbert. 100% Pinot Noir from vineyards cultivated biodynamically and planted on the Le Clos des Treilles vineyard site, a Kimmeridgian terroir facing east/southeast, covering a total of one hectare. Harvesting is done by hand, and the grapes are received in the winery by gravity. Natural vinification: 21 days of maceration with 25% whole bunches, followed by pneumatic pressing, 9 months of maturation in 400-litre amphorae. Bottled without fining or filtration, or 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....
