Michel Couillaud converted his father’s polyculture farm into a vineyard in the 1960’s. Then, the next generation of the family took over with a new way of thinking about winemaking and wine, while respecting the traditions of the past. Part of this meant converting the vineyards to 100% organic viticulture and embracing natural wine. Located in the heart of Muscadet Sèvre et Maine, between the mildness of the Loire river and the freshness of the Atlantic ocean, Le Haut-Planty is situated on the best hillside of Le Landreau. They have been practicing organic farming since 2007 and finally got certified in 2015. Gwin Evan Au Gré Du Vin is made from certified organic Melon de Bourgogne (aka Melon, Muscadet and many other synonyms) (in the U.S. it is known mostly in the regions of Oregon and Washington state). The style is light, fresh and extremely food-friendly, pairing well with seafood like raw oysters, fish and chips or sushi. Serve this wine chilled and serve with sushi takeout, or a raclette themed dinner with your favorite Swiss melty cheeses, boiled potatoes and pickles! This is heaven. Welcome! You deserve it.
