Winemaker Notes
From Muscadet, Minuit is a Folle Blanche that originates from vines on granitic soils in their first year of organic conversion. Manual harvest, slow pressing, and spontaneous alcoholic and malolactic fermentation are the same with Minuit as all the cuvées from this address. A Pétillant Naturel, it is bottled before the primary fermentation is complete and released without disgorgement. Aptly named after the French word for midnight, this delightful wine is perfect as both an aperitif or for late-night celebrations and sometimes both.
The Loire runs 1006 kilometers from its source in the Massif Central to the Atlantic Ocean, making it the longest river in France. From grape to glass, Pauline Lair makes minimalist wines in her urban winery in Angers, a project fittingly named 1006 Vins de Loire. Through personal and lasting partnerships throughout the Loire Valley, Pauline makes wines that honestly reflect their terroirs. By selecting growers with respect for their land and who follow the principles of organic farming, Pauline carefully monitors each plot throughout the year to ensure only the best quality fruit is designated for her wines. Realizing the quality potential of the vineyard work, fermentations are spontaneous, and elevage is gentle and respectful of terroir.
Labeled by variety rather than the appellation, the range from 1006 Vins de Loire are far from being divorced from their place of origin. Rather, Pauline’s wines are equally satisfying for enthusiasts familiar with every nook and cranny of the Loire’s terroirs and those just learning about this region’s diverse wealth of varieties and regional expression.
