Louis Métaireau — along with his band of vignerons d’art, as his like-minded group of producers were known — was instrumental in restoring the reputation of the Muscadet appellation in the middle of the 20th century. It was he who first began leaving his wines "sur lie" (on their fine lees) through the winter. Since taking over for her father, Marie-Luce Métaireau and her husband, Jean-François Guilbaud, have assembled one of the most prized vineyard sites in all of Muscadet, the Grand Mouton vineyard; the vines range from thirty years of age to a parcel planted in 1937. The “Carte Noire” (black label), made from vines in the middle of the age range, is classic Muscadet, with great depth and complexity.
