Domaine de la Mortaine, Muscadet de Sèvre & Maine sur Lie, Loire, 2016

This bone-dry Muscadet, produced by Sébastien Chéreau, is both ‘de Sèvre et Maine’, and ‘Sur Lie’. With a closed, restrained nose there is an abundance of taut, crisp acidity here. Fruit character is green Granny Smith apple in character, with a lingering wet stone finish. A great option for seafood.
