About the Estate:
Situated 12 kms (7.5 miles) away from Nantes, within a triangle between the Atlantic Ocean, the Loire River and the Lake of GrandLieu. Created in 1864, the estate has been run by the CHOBLET Family for five generations. Son Jerome Choblet is now fully handling the estate and vinification, and do impressively deliver the expression of his vines within this prestigious and reputed Muscadet Côtes de GrandLieu Appellation (dating back 1994). While using up to date technologies to allow separated vinification and expression of the richness and diversity of each precise “terroir” and parcel, the CHOBLET Family pays particular attention to and respects the environment. The full vineyard is cultivated using Sustainable Agriculture
Practices since 1980…and now, certified TERRA VITIS. They are also the only Loire estate certified IFS Food V6, a recognized GFSI (Global Food Safety Initiative) food standard for auditing food manufacturers on food (or wines) safety and the quality of processes, and also... the only independent French wine producer with 98.06/100 classification & superior level! The diversity of the Domaine des Herbauges soils and sub soils is clearly developed and optimized in 8 different Cuvées, each one showing and expressing very precisely the aromas and characteristics of the specific blending or “terroir” they come from. Le Chant Baron - coming from a single plot - is vinified on purpose to offer a crisp, mineral, so aromatic and lively daily pleasure, leading to a bracing finish. Another great Jerome CHOBLET Signature & value.

Lively, mouthwatering and so crisp nose, on white flowers, grapefruit, and so unique mineral accents, reflecting the Atlantic Ocean’s proximity. So fresh,,
crisp and mineral palate, with minty, citrusy notes and light saltiness on the length.
Food Pairing:
As an aperitif, with oysters, shellfish, mussels, avocado with crab & shrimp, salmon & grapefruits’ salad, fresh goat’s cheese.
Press Review:
«Taut and crisply textured, this wine has a touch of pepper as well as the brightest citrus flavors. Its acidity and fruitiness are already delicious and the wine is ready to drink” R.Voss - 90 Pts Wine Enthusiast Jqn. 20’
