VDF 2024 | Fay d’homme

Nestled in the heart of the Muscadet Sèvre et Maine appellation, Domaine Fay d’Homme is a family affair: the craft of winemaking has been passed on from generation to generation of the Caillé family for decades.

In 1986, Vincent Caillé took the lead in running the family vineyard’s operations, since when he has produced premium quality wines of the highest standard, combining low intervention and traditional methods that truly express the local Muscadet Sevre et Maine terroir. Terre de Gneiss and Terre de Gabbro are examples of wonderful modern Muscadets rooted in the terroir produced using a combination of traditional and biodynamic viticultural practices with exceptional quality as their overriding goal.

The estate is fully certified in organic and biodynamic farming. Fermentation is carried out with indigenous yeasts, ensuring a natural expression of the fruit and terroir. Ageing takes place in a combination of cement and stainless steel vats, preserving freshness and purity while allowing the wine to develop balance and texture.

Pale lemon in colour, this wine opens with delicate aromas of citrus, green apple, and a hint of sea spray. The palate is fresh and lively, with bright acidity and a clean, mineral-driven finish.
