Since 1723, the Ollivier family has been carrying on a tradition of expertise passed down from generation to generation on these estates in Maisdon-sur-Sèvre. Mathilde, a qualified oenologist, now embodies this continuity with a vision deeply rooted in the family heritage, yet resolutely focused on the future. Driven by the conviction that Muscadet deserves wider recognition, both in France and internationally, she combines high standards with a bold approach in equal measure.

From mixed farming
toviticulture
Before devoting themselves entirely to viticulture, the early generations of the Ollivier family farmed a wide variety of crops. Over the decades, driven by passion and ambition, their descendants gradually made Muscadet their hallmark.
A terroir that tellsa story
Nestled at the confluence of the Sèvre and the Maine, the Grenaudière vineyard is situated on millennia-old granitic soils of the Armorican Massif. This exceptional terroir shapes the character of each wine: a distinct minerality, lingering freshness and rare aromatic complexity.
Clisson
DGC
On the poor, well-drained granite soils of Clisson, our Muscadets develop remarkable finesse and exceptional ageing potential. These are wines of character, made for those with patience
Thébaud Castle
DGC
Here, granodiorite and gneiss give rise to wines of intense aromatic depth. The minerality of the subsoil comes through clearly in the glass: complex, taut, unforgettable
Melon B, ‘
’ – our unique grape variety
Naturally low in aroma, Melon B is, above all, a reflection of its terroir. An iconic grape variety of the Muscadet region, it faithfully expresses the minerality and freshness of the granitic soils on which it is grown.
At the Domaine de la Grenaudière, he is the sole master of the estate: 28 hectares entirely devoted to its purest expression.
Expertise honed over threecenturies
Ageing on lees
Let time do its work
Ageing on the lees is a tradition deeply ingrained in the estate’s DNA. After between 6 and 60 months in underground glazed vats, our Muscadets develop a distinctive richness, remarkable aromatic complexity and a stability that gives them exceptional ageing potential.
