The Saurel family home sits amongst a cluster of modest buildings, their plastered walls a ruddy sandstone colour. Eric and Christine run the estate, but it’s truly a family operation. Of their two daughters (both in their 20s), Manon assists Christine with the administration and logistics while Justine spends her time with Eric in the vineyards and the cellar. It seems that they will be more than ready when it comes time for the new generation to take the reins.

A historic property located in the Loire Valley, Domaine de l’Ecu is widely considered one of the top producers of Muscadet-Sevre-et-Maine. Unlike most producers of Muscadet, the white wines are aged sur-lie for 15-18 months, adding exceptional texture and complexity. 

You’ll receive 12 different bottles geared toward the season (sparkling, white, red, rosé and skin-contact)! We select wines from over 150 producers around the world. All wine is sourced from organic, biodynamic and natural winemakers. The case is curated by a small team of Sommeliers who love to find fun, small cuvées from the most exciting and passionate producers in our portfolio.
