Sauvion
Where Atlantic air cools the Val de Loire, Sauvion has shaped a distinctly Muscadet-minded identity since 1935. With Château du Cléray at its heart in the Nantes vineyards, the house pairs close relationships to Sèvre et Maine parcels with the discipline of a long-standing Loire wine trade, guided today by a new generation of the Sauvion family.
Schist, gneiss and sandy gravels set the tone, giving Melon de Bourgogne the kind of taut framework that rewards patient cellar work. Gentle pressing, reductive handling and, when it serves the style, ageing sur lie build texture without losing line.
Beyond Muscadet, the same philosophy applies across the river’s classic appellations: clarity, balance and a strict respect for raw material. It’s reliability with character—maritime freshness and clean structure, with origin always in the foreground.Sauvion
