Les Trois Toits Gros Plant is a pure and vibrant wine with pronounced mineral notes, citrus, white flowers and delicate herbal notes. The wine is made from 100% Folle Blanche, known as Gros Plant in this area of the Loire Valley and is the perfect grape for translating the magic of the soil into a delightful vinous experience. This is a wine with great energy, purity and minerality. If you love dry whites, you’ll love this.
The grapes are sourced from vineyards planted on mica-schist soils and the wine undergoes six months of lees aging in tank before release.
Domaine Les Trois Toits was purchased in 2019 by Vincent Barbier and Cecile Perraud who, in the short period they have owned the Domaine, have started the conversion to organic farming, removed mechanical harvesting and begun fermenting with indigenous yeasts. They produce a modern range of wines that encapsulate the brilliance of this classic terroir but also push the boundaries by de-classifying some of their wines to Vin de France so they can experiment with different grape varieties, vinification techniques and have more freedom over aging periods. They are our kind of winery and people – classic but not scared to be different.
The winery is a classic stone building with “Trois Toits” or three roofs and is located just east of Vertou, which sits southeast of Nantes. The soils here are mainly Schist with some areas of Gneiss, considered the price terroir for the Melon de Bourgogne grape. These mineral rich soils help produce wines of intense flavour and striking freshness, which perfectly symbolise the face of New Wave Muscadet.
