Château du Cléray-Sauvion in Eolie is an exceptional source of great Muscadet wines. Jean-Ernest Sauvion is fondly known as the King of Muscadet.
The wines of Eolie are characterised by their finesse, richness and elegance. Their flavours drive from the balance between their specific "terroir" and racy characteristics, against the natural richness of fruit typical of this region.
