16,50 € incl. VAT
Established in 1995, this estate covers 16 hectares. The terroir of Panloup faces south, and is an early parcel of schist with a granite vein running through it, with shallow sandy soil. Aged for 24 months, this 2010 is full-bodied, vigorous and saline on the palate. Full-bodied and energetic, the 2009 (15.5/20) will seduce you with its flavours of fruit pastes, without any heaviness. 2007 (15/20) evolves nicely on candied lemon and mirabelle plum, with the buttery generosity brought by the evolution.

Description
The history of the “Fleur de Panloup” cuvée is part of the process of gaining recognition for the Muscadet Sèvre et Maine “Goulaine” AOC. The harvest from a single parcel owes its inimitable character to its terroir, which is characterised by :
Terroir: Steep slopes facing south-west
Soil: shallow sandy on micaschists and granite
In the vineyard: yields are kept under control by natural grass cover or sometimes shallow ploughing in the middle of the row and moderate pruning. Regular ripeness checks enable us to decide on the optimum harvest date. The grapes are sorted and picked by hand.
The wine is made without sulphiting. Direct pressing, settling for 12 to 18 hours, filtration of the must and alcoholic fermentation are carefully planned to preserve and refine the raw material.
A minimum of 2 years maturing on the lees before bottling will accentuate its volume and power. Fleur de Panloup” has an ageing potential of over 10 years. Over time, the wine develops its power and aromatic complexity, as well as its fullness on the palate.
Fleur de Panloup is available in several vintages, each with its own distinctive character.
Food & wine pairing
Gourmets will appreciate pairing the younger vintages with smoked fish or scallops. Then, when their character is more assertive, they can be paired with foie gras, seafood sauerkraut, veal blanquette, good snail-based recipes or a platter of mature cheeses.un vol au vent Dieppois / Salade de poissons fumés en salade aux agrumes / quiche provençale
