The Vaillant family has been owned the 55ha Domaine les Grandes Vignes since the 17th Century. Based in Thouarce in the Layon Valley, the domaine has been farmed biodynamically since 2008. 

This 2010 Musemé is an intriguing example of how well sparkling Loire Chenin Blanc can age. The 12-year-old vines are planted on schist and the grapes are picked by hand with a yield of 35hl/ha. Light- to mid-gold in colour, it has honey and peach characters with a very richly textured palate showing some light oxidation and notes of baked apple on the finish. A really interesting, complex wine.
