Chateau de la Ragotierre

The chateau, near Vallet in the heart of the finest Muscadet Vineyards, dates back to the 14th Century. It is now owned by the Couillaud brothers whose philosophy is to retain the very best of tradition yet taking the best of innovation to keep their wines at the forefront of the appellation. Their work begins in the vineyard, a sloping and stoney hill facing south-south east, where vines are methodically pruned, fertilised and harvested, the entire operation optimised by a computer linked directly to the brothers’ own state-of-the-art weather station. The vinification is no less strictly supervised, with pneumatic pressing and cold maceration employed to maximise fruit and aromas, followed by temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel vats. Maturation for about a year on the lees (sur lie) ensures the wines retain the maximum of freshness.
