Michel Delhommeau

Loire Valley, France

  • Country France
  • Farming Organic certified
  • Region Loire Valley
  • Sub-region Muscadet

One of the region’s most respected winemakers, Michel Delhommeau is a driving forcing behind the well-documented renaissance of Muscadet. Organic-certified, this domaine occupies some 25 hectares in Monnières, in the heart of the Sèvre et Maine appellation. Its most prized holdings are in the Cru of Monnières-Saint-Fiacre, where the terroir is characterised by relatively deep soils, rich in clay formed from decomposed gneiss. The wines of Monnières-Saint-Fiacre are typically the most textured Muscadet produces, and respond well to extended lees ageing.

 Each of the three cuvées Flint carries is raised exclusively in concrete tanks; 15 months for La Dame de Onze Heures (gabbro soils) and the more mineral Fief Seigneur (gneiss), and no fewer than 36 months for Monnières-Saint-Fiacre.
