Loire Valley Melon de Bourgogne and Muscadet from Pays Nantais's maritime terroir.

Frères Couillaud operates in Pays Nantais, the maritime extension of the Loire Valley where Atlantic influence shapes cool-climate viticulture. The winery focuses on Melon de Bourgogne, the region's signature white variety—a grape that thrives in these conditions, yielding wines of mineral precision and saline tension. Creation Couillaud Chardet blends Melon de Bourgogne with Chardonnay, while the Château de la Ragotière bottlings—Cuvée Amélie and Mouzillon Tillieres, both Muscadet-Sèvre et Maine Sur Lie—showcase the depth that extended aging on lees imparts to Melon. These wines have been assessed by Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate, and Wine Enthusiast. The winery's portfolio reflects the terroir of Pays Nantais: lean, bracing whites built for food and capable of aging beyond their first flush.
