100% Melon de Bourgogne. The Pépière holding in the cru of Château Thébaud is 14 hectares of vines up to 65 years old on a south-facing slope. The key soil component is granite de Thébaud, different from say the granite de Clisson in its higher feldspar and clay content–this means more nutrients for the vines, cooler soil temperatures, slower ripening, better water retention and a porosity that allows the roots to go deep to the hard granite mother rock. The farming is organic and harvest and all work by hand.

As for the rest of the Pepière wines, the fruit is direct-pressed in whole clusters and the juice settled naturally for 12 hours. It is then fermented in stainless steel tanks with natural yeasts; the wine is aged on its lees in large underground vats until bottling without fining or filtering. Thébaud needs longer aging on the lees than any of the other wines, usually at least 3 years. It is typically the most austere, intensely salty and mineral of the line-up.

Varietal

Melon de Bourgogne

Melon de Bourgogne is a white grape variety originally from Burgundy, France, where it was historically cultivated. However, it is now predominantly associated with the Muscadet region in the Loire Valley. This grape is best known for producing Muscadet wines, which are renowned for their crisp acidity, minerality, and subtle citrus flavors. Muscadet wines made from Melon de Bourgogne are typically light-bodied with a bone-dry profile, making them incredibly refreshing and perfect for pairing with seafood, especially oysters. What makes Melon de Bourgogne unique is its ability to reflect its terroir, particularly the maritime influence of the Atlantic Ocean in the Muscadet region. This grape thrives in the cool climate and rocky soils of the area, producing wines that are zesty, with a distinct saline minerality that adds to their appeal. Muscadet made from Melon de Bourgogne is a quintessential choice for lovers of crisp, dry white wines.

Region

Loire Valley

Within France, the one region most closely associated with fine white and rosé wines is surely the Loire Valley. With over eight controlled appellations, and a relatively large expanse of land covering this wide valley, the Loire Valley is an ideal location for wineries wishing to produce large quantities of excellent quality vines for their wine production. Indeed, this region has been associated with excellent white wines for over a thousand years, with it once being the favorite wine region for the crowned heads of England, France and beyond. Today, it produces a wide range of white wines, and several rosé and red varieties also. It is also widely celebrated for being home to some of France's most lively and fruity sparkling crémant wines, which more than match those produced in nearby Champagne.
