About Domaine de L’Ecu 

Biodynamic since 1998 (Demeter) across its 24 hectares. Also certified Biodyvin since 2014.

Passionate about a return to the amphora. While requiring a lot of work, it has many advantages. The natural origin of the clay and the neutrality of the terracotta respects the purity of the fruit and the expression of the terroir. Thermal regulation, the natural circulation of the lees, favors the complexity of the wines…amphoras is not an end in itself but remains for Fred. This is a culmination of a comprehensive process related to biodynamic practices and allows him to offer balanced wines with no added input or SO2.

Recently, Fred Nigers took over from celebrated owner and natural viticulturist Guy Bossard after working as his assistant for several years. Fred is extremely passionate and is dedicated to maintaining the greatness of the estate. Building on a great foundation, Fred stewarding the vineyards, with Bossard as an ongoing consultant, these wines are remarkable.

Like Bossard, Fred is a fanatic in the vineyards, crops extremely low, and makes Muscadetsthat have remarkable depth, precision, and age-ability. His passion and connection to nature guide his every move in the vineyard and cellar. He is ever-present, observant, and mindful, always intending to work in tandem with the forces of nature and never against them. Pure expressions of soil and grape.

“We renounced all technological artifice in the cellar to break with the movement of standardization wines and preserve the bond between each of our vintages a vintage and terroir.” – Fred Niger
