Description
In a nutshell:
This lively Muscadet packs a punch with juicy stone fruit flavours and zingy freshness.
The lowdown:
This Muscadet certainly hits the spot with its balance of ripe fruit and a zingy, quince-like freshness. There's an initial spritz on the tongue, but then it opens up beautifully - think citrus and a hint of something flinty. It's made from older vines, which give it more concentration, and they leave it to age in concrete tanks for a bit of extra depth. This isn't your everyday, simple Muscadet; this one's got a bit of weight and clout and it's organic.
The Producer:
Domaine Ménard-Gaborit is a Muscadet producer quietly crafting some of the region's most fascinating wines. Their commitment to organic farming across all their vineyards sets a high standard and François Ménard aims to take this further by transitioning to a fully biodynamic approach. What sets them apart is the extended ageing of their wines from prestigious cru vineyards. While Muscadet is often enjoyed in its youth, Ménard-Gaborit's extended lees contact adds layers of complexity, subtly challenging expectations about these classic wines.
When to drink:
This crisp, easy-drinking white is lovely with prawns, a bit of grilled fish, or a nice goat cheese - a no-fuss pairing.
Suitable for Vegans, Organic
