Muscadet Sur Lie Domaine des Herbauges - 2009Loire Valley White Wine 75 cl Bottle
Muscadet, made from the Melon de Bourgogne, is widely produced around the town of Nantes in the western Loire. These are crisp, refreshing dry wines, ideal with seafood. The Côtes de Grandlieu is considered a superior region of Muscadet, producing intense, almost exotic fruit with the rich bread-like character added by aging over winter on the wine's lees.
Owned by Luc Choblet, who is a fanatical perfectionist, balancing both technology and tradition in his winemaking. His Muscadet sur Lie is one of intense, almost exotic fruit and clearly shows the character and quality so often missing in this region. The pure Loire Valley Chardonnay is un-oaked and lees aged in the same way that Luc makes his Muscadet.
