Domaine Eric Chevalier 'Les Gralettes' Fié Gris 2019

Domaine Eric Chevalier 'Les Gralettes' Fié Gris is a dry white from the Pays Nantais in the western Loire, made from the rare Fié Gris grape.

Saint-Philbert-de-Grand-Lieu, south of Nantes, is where Eric Chevalier took over the family estate in the mid-2000s, and he farms it organically. The area is Muscadet country, but he also keeps older parcels of this pink-skinned mutation of Sauvignon Blanc, once widespread in the Loire and now grown by only a handful of producers. Because it sits outside the local appellation rules, it's labelled Val de Loire. Sandy soils over gneiss, a gentle pressing, a cool ferment and several months on fine lees complete the picture, with no new oak.

Light and dry, with citrus, white peach and a saline, slightly grippy finish. Serve at 8–10°C with oysters, prawns, goat's cheese or grilled white fish.
