Château du Coing is located in the village of Saint Fiacre, in the Sèvre et Maine district of Muscadet. The current owner and winemaker, Véronique Günther-Chéreau, decided in 1990 to return to her family’s estate after achieving a doctorate degree in pharmacy. Véronique’s family had been making wine at Saint Fiacre since 1421, and she grew up on the estate. In 2011, her daughter Aurore joined the family domaine, following her biology and oenology studies in Dijon.

This wine comes from a single parcel of vines grown on a 15% gradient, south-facing slope, right at the confluence of the Sèvre and Maine rivers. The Chateau's name, 'Coing', is a derivative of 'coin' meaning corner in French, indicating this wine comes from the very heart of the appellation. The soils have a metamorphic origin: gneiss with two micas, covered with a thin soil.

This particular vintage is special because there was some spring frost and unfortunately, resulted in a large part of the crop being lost. The main characteristic of the vintage is that the wines are more in the Loire style which means they are lighter than the 2020 vintage. This is due to the less hot summer than the previous year. The wine profile is fresher, mineral; an elegant style with very good balance.

Muscadet wines labelled 'Sur Lie' must be bottled between 1st March and 31st December in the year following the harvest. 'Confluentia' spent 6 months on its lees, in traditional underground tanks lined with glass.

This is a delightful wine that displays a classic citrus and white flower profile, alongside a very attractive texture. It is bold and nicely rounded with a very clean oyster shell freshness on the finish.
