It spreads over 24 ha spread over very varied soils: sandy loam, altered gabbros, gneiss, biotite granite. It is this wealth of soils that gives a diversity of wines.<\/p>\n<p>On 24 ha. of vines, 95% of the vineyard is planted with Melon de Bourgogne, a unique grape from Muscadet, with the remaining production (5%) of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.<\/p>\n<p>The estate was created in 1910 by Denis Batard.<\/p>\n<p>In 1982 his son Pascal took over the reins, seeking to express in his wines the essence of the appellation Muscadet. The wines are vinified according to the Nantaise tradition as he had learned from his father Denis. Aware of the growing fragility of biodiversity, he turned to lutte raisonn\u00e9e and abandoned chemical fertilizers in 1995.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 564px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"dijit__Templated_3\" class=\"mcnImage blockDropTarget\" src=\"https:\/\/gallery.mailchimp.com\/8cc45cf08bf7beaf6f607b870\/images\/edf92ff8-1620-4d65-a64b-2fe5a1c3007b.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"564\" height=\"487\" align=\"center\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Winemaker J\u00e9r\u00e9mie Batard on the plot of the Moulin de la Gustaie in the Clos St Vincent.

Today, this work that once seemed hard to him has become a meaningful source of passion.<\/p>\n<p>His wife Claire Langelier, who is not from the region, fell in love with the area &#8211; both its wines and J\u00e9r\u00e9mie! Since 2013, she has worked on the estate, the vineyard, the cellar and with the trade.<\/p>\n<p>She contributes her grain of salt.
