Domaine de la Haute Févrie
The Branger family’s domaine, Haute Févrie, was created during World War I in Maisdon sur Sèvre in Muscadet Sèvre et Maine. Claude Branger took over in the mid 1970s, and in 2008 he handed day to day leadership to his son, Sébastien, while continuing to work the vines.
Today the estate harvests by hand and is certified organic across all vineyards, with certification completed by 2019. Most cuvées ferment spontaneously and are aged on their fine lees in tank before bottling without fining and usually a light filtration. The family bottles under both the Claude Branger and Domaine de la Haute Févrie labels, and farms key sites including Les Gras Moutons, which also supplies their Monnières Saint Fiacre cru, and parcels in Château Thébaud.
