J. Mourat is a fourth-generation, family-owned winery located in Fiefs Vendéens, a relatively unknown appellation that lies in the shadows of its more well-known neighbors, like nearby Muscadet. Don't let the region's relative obscurity make you think that its wines are not worthy of your consideration. Au contraire, dear readers! Fiefs Vendéens' maritime breezes and schist/limestone soils bring forth wines that are superbly well-balanced, and its under-the-radar status means that your wallet will be very happy. 

Today's wine is unoaked in order to showcase its gorgeous fruit profile. It is medium-to-full-bodied and loaded with black cherries, blackberries, and black raspberries on the nose and palate. The generous fruit flavors are laced with notes of savory herbs and wet stone, with a hint of baking spice emerging on the long finish.
