Jérémie Huchet Château Thébaud Muscadet Sèvre et Maine 2018

Château-Thébaud, a little south of Nantes, is one of the ten newly recognised cru appellations of the Muscadet Sèvre et Maine winemaking area. The Cru approach is based on the limitation of production to only the best identified vineyard plots, rigorous wine growing requirements with limited yields, and lees-ageing of over two years to produce wines with a strong personality. Jérémie Huchet is one of only a few producers entitled to use the appellation. The Cru wines are made from the Melon de Bourgogne variety and are grown from the best plots of old vines overlooking the river Maine, on a unique subsoil of granodiorite and gneiss. The Château-Thébaud Muscadet Sèvre et Maine shows both a creamy character and minerality. On the nose, there is beautiful aromatic complexity dominated by candied citrus fruits, herbs (fennel, anise) and slightly smoky notes (gunflint, liquorice). The palate is full yet balanced by a clearly perceptible tension and a nice touch of bitterness alongside the terroir’s hallmark saline and extremely long finish. This is a wine beautiful after a few years but is made to age and will handsomely cellar for up to 20 years.

We aim to to have your delivery with you within 5-7 working days of receiving your order, but often it can be much sooner. If you need your order by a certain date please get in touch and we'll do our best to get it to you as required.

 

Vintage Availability

We endeavour to display accurate and current vintages on all our wines listed on the website; however, from time to time stocks of the vintage listed do become exhausted. If this is the case with your order we will always contact you to recommend another vintage of the same wine, if it is still available. If the vintage of a wine is important to you then please leave a note at checkout advising us of this. 

 

Stock Availability

As we are retail stockists, selling from our Ledston shop as well as online, it makes it difficult for us to show a 'real-time' inventory of our wines and spirits online. As such, very occasionally, a wine may be out of stock that the website has allowed you to order.

To ensure a timely delivery, we are happy to substitute your order with a similar wine of equal or higher value and at no additional cost to you!

If this is not an acceptable solution please advise us in the 'Add A Comment' section at the checkout.
