Lux - 2022 - Vignoble de l’Ecu
Fred Niger
A powerful nose, with mineral and citrus notes, white flowers, honeysuckle, and almond. Palate: characteristic of an amphora wine, that is to say supple, creamy, complex, fruity. The juice is nonetheless taut and powerful, with a saline finish.

Fred bought Vignoble 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....
