AboutOllivier Cottenceau
The Ollivier-Cottenceau family’s winegrowing roots in Maisdon-sur-Sèvre date to 1723. Mathilde Ollivier and Stéphane Cottenceau represent the eighth generation at Domaine de la Grenaudière, with 28 hectares of Melon B on granitic soils between the Sèvre and Maine. The estate carries HVE Level 3 certification.
Its Muscadets age on their lees in underground glass-lined tanks, for periods ranging from six months to several years. The family also makes a dealcoholized Melon B wine, aged on its lees before the alcohol is removed.

Citrus and light orchard-fruit tones sit over a lean, mineral frame, with lees ageing adding subtle texture without sacrificing freshness. The palate is supple and bright, showing lively acidity, a faint natural spritz and a brisk saline finish. Serve well chilled with oysters, shellfish, soft goat cheese, vegetable terrines or simply prepared white fish. Its restrained sweetness and coastal profile make it especially useful at the table.
