The 2010 vintage in Muscadet Sèvre et Maine represents a historic pinnacle for Melon de Bourgogne in the western Loire. Benefiting from a luminous, cool autumn, the grapes developed extraordinary saline tension and mineral depth across orthogneiss, gabbro, and schist soils. The wine reveals a bright pale gold robe and a majestic bouquet of candied lemon, green apple, fresh sourdough yeast, almond, and oceanic iodine. The palate is remarkably tense, displaying a dense, saline, and exceptionally persistent core. Rated 4.6 out of 5 and deemed Divine, this 2010 ages with youthful brilliance. A magnificent match for baked oysters, line-caught sea bass in beurre blanc, or roasted lobster.
