The Batard-Langelier Estate is a family estate located 30 minutes south-east of Nantes. It extends over 24 hectares of gently sloping vineyards at an altitude of about 60 meters. It is located between two rivers, the S\u00e8vre and Maine, south of the Loire.<\/p>

The climate is oceanic, the Atlantic ocean being less than 50 km away as the crow flies.<\/p>

J\u00e9r\u00e9mie Batard represents the 3rd generation of winemaker. \u00a0He returned to the family estate and since 2017 has been working with his parents R\u00e9gine and Pascal with the same passion to express all the richness of the Melon de Bourgogne and the soils of the region in his wines.<\/p>

The estate is fortunate to have vineyards planted on a variety of subsoils: Granite, Gneiss and Gabbro.<\/p>

Batard Langelier produces wines in the Muscadet S\u00e8vre et Maine appellation, as well as two Crus Ch\u00e2teau Th\u00e9baud and Monni\u00e8re St Fiacre, a sparkling traditionnal method and an orange wine from melon de Bourgogne.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The vineyard is composed of 95% Melon de Bourgogne. \u00a0A few rows of Merlot and Cabernet Franc complete the vineyard and bring a touch of red to the production. The pruning system is the Guyot Nantais, a typical pruning of the region which is based on 3 heads to have each time a cane and 2 spurs.<\/p>

The soils of the vineyard are quite varied and this is one of the treasures of the domain: sandy-silt, siliceous-clay, soils often coming from metamorphic rocks in decomposition such as Gabbro and Gneiss. The wines are made from the selected parcels of the estate to express all the finesse, minerality and typicity of each of these different terroirs.<\/p>

The vineyard is managed according to the principles of organic farming, no synthetic treatments are applied in the vineyard. \u00a0<\/p>

The vinification is traditional, with light pressing, settling and fermentation in underground glass-tiled cement tanks – typical of the region. The maturation on lees is adapted to the vineyards parcels for varying lengths of time in order to obtain an optimal expression of the different terroirs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
