Melon B.
AOP Muscadet Côtes de Grand Lieu sur lie – Vieilles Vignes
From the best soils, this Muscadet develops all winter on the fine lees (the « lees » : inactive natural yeast from the fermentation), which lies at the bottom of the barrel or of the tank, giving the wine its specific quality : “pétillance”. This brings to this wine a pleasant stability.
Its colour is pale yellow with golden hue ; it is bright and clear.
The nose is fine and floral.
The attack is slightly mineral with a nice freshness.
This Muscadet develops aromas of white fruits (peach) with some citrus notes ; it is long on the palate.
It is best served at 10-12°C.
