    2022 l'Octavin Mus'cat

    • $75.00

    Sometimes with a wine made from 100% Muscat the floral nature of this grape variety can be a bit overwhelming. However there are some winemakers who can “tame the beast” and produce wines that bring the best out of this grape and this one is a great example.

    Alice normally macerates her wines for 15 days but for the 2022 vintage Mus'cat maceration was 4 days to get the balance just right. There is normally two varieties of Muscat namely Muscat a Petit Grains and Muscat d’Alexandrie.

    The l’Octavin wines are lovingly crafted by Alice Bouvot in her Arbois winery using organic grapes from her 3.6 hectares of vineyards scattered around the outskirts of that beautiful town.

    The vineyards, which include some of the best lieu dits (a lieu dit is a named place that has official recognition in France) available including En Curon, La Mailloche, Les Nouvelles and Les Corvées are certified organic by Demeter as are her winemaking methods.

    There are absolutely no additions to any of the wines. It is fermented grape juice with the fermentation carried out by the indigenous yeasts. She does not add  sulphur at any stage nor does she filter or fine the wines. Octavin is also certified biodynamic by Demeter.
