From the historic heartland of Muscadet Sèvre-et-Maine, Domaine de la Quilla is a benchmark family estate quietly crafting some of the region’s most authentic and mineral-driven wines since 1948. Founded by Gustave Vinet and now run by Laurence and Gérard Vinet, the domaine farms vineyards around La Haye-Fouassière and Château-Thébaud — two of Muscadet’s most prized communes, shaped by Atlantic influence and complex schist-rich soils.

Made entirely from Melon de Bourgogne and aged traditionally sur lie, this is Muscadet at its purest and most compelling. The nose is bright and oceanic, layered with lemon zest, green apple, white peach, wet stone and delicate floral notes, all underscored by a distinct saline freshness. The palate is razor sharp yet subtly textural from lees ageing, unfolding with chalky minerality, citrus oil and a beautifully clean, oyster-shell finish.

There is an effortless precision to this wine that speaks both of meticulous farming and the unique terroirs of the Nantais. Fresh, crystalline and deeply refreshing, it captures the modern revival of great Muscadet — wines now prized for their tension, complexity and extraordinary value among sommeliers and wine lovers alike.
