Muscadet 2014

The 2014 vintage in Muscadet Sèvre et Maine stands as one of the modern masterpieces of the Nantes vineyard. Thanks to an extraordinary autumn Indian summer, the Melon de Bourgogne achieved sumptuous phenolic ripeness while retaining sparkling saline acidity. The wine radiates a brilliant gold hue and releases a complex bouquet of candied citrus, Williams pear, fresh hazelnut, wild fennel, and crushed oyster shells. The palate is dense, textured, and sculpted by a mineral vein of lingering persistence. Rated 4.7 out of 5 and crowned Divine, this titan has 20+ year cellaring potential. Magnificent with sea bass in beurre blanc or roasted langoustines.
