the climate of the coteaux de la loire is influenced by the
atlantic ocean and the loire river. it is a soft climate; not too cold, not too
warm and little rainy - with hilly relief to the edge of the loire. it allows for
deep roots, so good ripeness. the moderate temperature in summer
allows for freshness in the wine. the ocean winds follow the loire and
reduce the humidity in the air. they make wines with freshness and
personality; expressing the diverse mix of soils that muscadet offers –
roundness from gneiss, more minerality from schist
