Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, low tannin, medium acidity, dry
Pierre Lurton's single-parcel, single-variety Muscadelle from vines planted in 1944 on the clay-limestone of Marjosse, bottled as Vin de France. Muscadelle is normally the seasoning in a Bordeaux blend; here it stands alone — apricot, white peach and orange blossom over a textured, faintly viscous palate with a saline, bread-dough finish. Rich and aromatic rather than crisp, and best with some texture on the plate.
