Description
The Wine:
Very crisp and mineral, with rich citrus fruit, green apples and a balancing leesy cream-like character.
Muscadet-Sèvre et Maine Sur Lie is of course (by law) made using 100% Melon du Bourgogne grapes. It is incredibly crisp, light & mineral on the palate and very, very drinkable. Aromas of lemon and crunchy green apples combine with touches of vanilla and honeydew melon.
The Maker:
Frédéric Guilbaud and Emmanuel Tuffreau make revolutionary Muscadet for an adventurous age.
Frédéric Guilbaud is a third generation winemaker, growing his fully organic grapes and creating wine at the family’s Château La Bretonnerie in France’s Loire Valley. Frédéric’s goal is to bring the Muscadet wine style into the 21st Century, whilst still using traditional techniques and know-how passed down through his family and the region’s top producers.
Their vines are certified Terra Vitis, and the wines are made at Château La Bretonnerie, where Frédéric’s family has been farming for three generations, and combine all that inherited knowledge and understanding of the region with old, well-established vineyards, but packaged up in radically new ways, including barrel fermentation and traditional method sparkling wines.
Food Pairing:
It’s a superb wine to pair with all kinds of shellfish, particularly oysters, or just to enjoy on its own in the sun.
