The 2017 vintage in Muscadet Sèvre et Maine is distinguished by its precision, saline purity, and aristocratic elegance. Following spring frost, dry and sunny summer conditions yielded healthy, concentrated fruit. The wine reveals a bright pale gold robe and a complex bouquet of bergamot, Williams pear, fresh hazelnut, and oceanic iodine. The palate is dense yet kinetic, propelled by vibrant salinity that lingers on the finish. Rated 4.5 out of 5, this divine vintage demonstrates the noble expression of Melon de Bourgogne on bedrock. Splendid with seared scallops or sole meunière.
