Éric Chevalier Muscadet-Côtes de Grandlieu Sur Lie Le Clos de la Butte 2021

This Côtes de Grand Lieu has all the classic stony and fresh Muscadet characteristics, and also that added extra je ne sais quoi you find only from the best producers of the region.

There is a lovely whisper of florality, perhaps the aromatic footprint of organically farmed old vines with no added yeast and a modest use of sulfur. When the flowers subside, the salt kicks in, leaving your palate both charmed and salivating for more.
