*Pick up orders are available next day for pick up"The lieu dit Le Verger sits on a schist bedrock with vines of at least twenty-five years of age. The site produces a wine that eschews fruitiness, instead boasting a firm, saline minerality and a tall, open posture redolent of Caspar David Friedrich's 'Wanderer above the Sea of Fog'. Olivier Poussier said of Le Verger it "breathes shale both in its aromas and in its flavors" and Le Monde des vins wrote: "We fell in love with this devilishly stony wine. Moreover, the beautiful label figuring the original sin is timely: this wine is so pure that it seems to go back to the origins of the terroir. Be careful, do not expect a slew of fruit, we are on a rock overlooking the sea. The nose smells intensely of stone and oil, delivering a racy personality. The very iodized mouth crowns this idea of licking a pebble beach. A Muscadet dream."" - Vino al Vino
