Tasting profile
Structure: light-bodied, low tannin, high acidity, dry
Folle Blanche from the Pays Nantais, at the western tip of the Loire, and the charm here is entirely in the edge — searing acidity, green apple and lemon pith, and a saline snap that makes it one of the great oyster wines. Very light in body and low in alcohol, bone dry, with no oak and nothing decorative anywhere. There is nothing sitting underneath the freshness waiting to develop, so drink it young and properly cold.
