Muscat de Saint Jean de Minervois

Located on a terroir of poor soils—a plateau of hard limestone—at an altitude between 250 and 280 meters with abundant sunshine, the stones release the heat accumulated during the day, promoting the ripening of the grapes’ aromatic compounds. However, the cool nights ensure a beautiful balance between alcohol, sugar, and acidity. The Muscat Saint Jean de Minervois Vin Doux Naturel is made exclusively from the Petit Grain Muscat grape variety. Through the process of fortification—the addition of alcohol during alcoholic fermentation—part of the natural sugars is preserved to create a sweet nectar. The wines develop aromas of exotic fruits, citrus, and white-fleshed fruits, and offer a wonderful balance on the palate, combining power and freshness, harmony, and length.
