Domaine Bonnet Huteau

Domaine Bonnet-Huteau is situated in the heart of the Muscadet region in the Sèvre et Maine appellation. It has been producing Muscadet for over 150 years on the site of a mediaeval dwelling.

The Bonnet-Huteau family has been working this 40-hectare vineyard for the past 4 generations. Rémi and Jean-Jacques Bonnet strive to reflect the diversity and expression of Muscadet Sèvre et Maine and the minerality of each of its terroirs: Gneiss, mica schist, amphibolite and granite. Respectful viticultural methods are in place (including ploughing, organic fertilisation, plant-based treatments, organic certification since 2005) and the domaine is moving towards Biodynamic practices.

Low yields and hand harvesting followed by gentle pressing in order to enable fermentation using the natural yeasts present on the grapes. The Muscadet wines from Bonnet-Huteau are aged on their lees with a low dose of sulphites before being bottled.
