Tasting profile
Structure: light-bodied, low tannin, high acidity, dry
Muscadet from Sèvre-et-Maine, the heart of the appellation, kept on its lees through the winter — that is what "sur lie" means, and it is what turns a lean wine into a textured one. Green apple and lemon with a faint yeasty roundness and a distinctly saline, oyster-shell finish. Bone dry, low in alcohol and bracingly fresh, it is the classic partner to shellfish and one of the best-value whites in France. Drink it young and cold.
