Lovely lemony, expressive nose backed by cut grass and a saline touch. The palate is delicate and delightful with a streamlined feel. Aroma becomes more effusive and the finish stays saline. A Muscadet with restrained nervy character. Producer Information Les Fr�res Couillaud are based at Ch�teau de la Ragoti�re, in the little commune of La Regrippi�re, at the very edge of the Muscadet S�vre et Maine appellation, a few yards from the boundary between the Loire-Atlantique and Maine-et-Loire d�partements. The nearest village of any note is Vallet, at the time of writing a cru communal hopeful, and beyond that lie the more familiar names of Clisson, Gorges and Ch�teau-Th�baud, none closer than ten kilometres. In terms of making Muscadet S�vre et Maine, this is about as far out as you can be. Any further, and they might find themselves producing Melon Vin de France. Or maybe Anjou Blanc . It may be peripheral in terms of Muscadet, but for centuries Ch�teau de la Ragoti�re was a hot-bed of political and military activity. From the 14th century onwards this was the seat of the noble Lor� de la Ragoti�re family, who swore allegiance to Bertrand du Guesclin (c.1320 � 1380), a knight from Brittany and a military commander who was active during the Hundred Years� War. Such was his renown he was known as L�Aigle de la Bretagne (the Eagle of Brittany), a motif also seen on his coat of arms, which bore an image of a double-headed black eagle.
