The Wines

Jubilation Le Pallet was born in 2007 when the district AOCs in the Muscadet area became official. In addition to the special production requirements of these wines, potentially interesting pockets within the terroir were identified by growers and technicians to create this brand.
“Le Fauteuil Rouge has helped us reviving some long forgotten winemaking practices. Just imagine sometimes, that it’s possible to take time to do things, to remember that wine has existed for thousands of years and that it’s part of our culture, take the time to imagine that we were right,” explained Cellar Master Laurent Bourdin.
