If you ask us, going for a magnum bottle is always a good idea. End of discussion! Bigger is better and size matters or something like that…
Jokes aside, all of our experience with natural wine points to the fact that juicy wine tend to be even more juicy on magnum bottles or bigger, just as “big” wines tend to be even more expressive and complex in large bottles. The reason why that is, we can only guess, but we can only recommend that you try it out for yourself, and we always make sure to have a whole bunch of big bottles in stock.

Le Haut Planty is a family estate situated in Le Landreau, a small village 25 kilometers south of Nantes, on the southern side of the Loire river.

The domain is run by the brothers Christian and Alain Couillaud and has been in the family for generations. Back in 2005 the two brothers began a gradual conversion towards organic farming and today all 20 hectares of land are fully converted. Their vineyards are mostly planted with Melon de Bourgogne, but they also cultivate Folle Blanche and the rare indigenous blue grape variety Abouriou. Christian is the one in charge of farming the land, while Alain, who is the more extrovert of the two, takes care of the vinification process that has now gone 100% natural.

Alain has set his mind on proving to the world that natural wines made on the basis of the indigenous grape Melon de Bourgogne can show the true potential of the Atlantic micro climate and the mineral terroir of the Muscadet.
