Domaine de la Chauviniere Muscadet Sevre et Maine Sur Lie 2023, 37.5cl

Produced from old vines on granite soil, this Muscadet is elevated from the unique variety Melon de Bourgogne. A grape with a soft character, which allows it to be a true expression of the terroir. The Melon de Bourgogne grape matures slightly later than usual, resulting in an ample, harmonious, with a dry and crisp finish. They display notes of lemon, lime and green apple, positively delicious! Muscadet (Melon) is a wine for those who love anything-but-fruity wines. They are lean, green, lively and have a fascinating almost saline-like quality to the taste. Serve it with shellfish, seafood, fish, or as an apéritif. Classic status for a reason, absolutely sublime with fresh oysters. "The 2022 Muscadet Sèvre et Maine Sur Lie Domaine de la Chauvinière from Jerémy Huchet has a delightful and appealing bouquet with aromas of lemon, jasmine, pear and spring flowers intertwined with hints of menthol. On the palate, the wine is juicy, well-balanced and elegant, with a medium-bodied structure and a long finish. This is a delicate, elegant rendition of granodiorite soils. Drink to 2028." 90 points.
