Lucien Pauvert the owner of Domaine de la Borne situated just south of Nantes in the district of La Louée, retired after the 2005 vintage. Pauvert began to sell off his valuable vineyard property, progenitor of “true” Muscadet, the stony, pierre-a-fusil Muscadet drawn directly from the lies each spring rather than the forced, fruity juice of the modern day.
