Description
In a nutshell:
A light, vibrant and crisp Muscadet (in all but name) from the lower Loire valley near Nantes.
The lowdown:
A single vineyard wine in organic conversion. Melon Blanc is the grape and because winemaker Pierre-Henri Gadais has decided to put this on the label it means that he can't call it Muscadet, though it is. Unlike the more well know 'sur Lie' style of Muscadet 'Vendange Nocturne' does not spend times on its lees and is bottled earlier in the December after the harvest, rather than the following Spring. Stone and citrus fruits with a touch of salinity and sprtiz on the finish.
When to drink:
A refreshing white that works perfectly as an aperitif or with shellfish and seafood.
Suitable for Vegans, Organic
