Winemaker Serge Batard's electric Muscadet captures the cooling breezes of the wild Atlantic to keep it fresh; it's got the oyster shell-purity of chalky soils to keep it lively. Seriously cut and taut, with vibrant energy and lots of thirst-quenching juice. Meyer lemons and key limes mix with wildflowers and sea salt on the nose; a margarita with salt, white pepper and kumquat flavors on the brisk, dry and very energetic mouth.
The sheer deliciousness of Muscadet...
9.20.2011
If you have yet to be won over by the pure pleasure of fine Muscadet, the time is now. Lemon-bright, sea-kissed and bone dry, Muscadet is a no-brainer for those who love the flavor of crisp Chablis and fresh seafood—a classic, long green bottle of chilled Muscadet delivers all this and more.
The “more” comes in the surprise that Muscadet still is one of the great values in white wine—there are few places where one can find so much pleasure for such a ridiculously low price. And fine Muscadet is also amazingly age-worthy, more so than most people know.
Vibrantly fresh and flexible at the table. Wonderfully low alcohol so a couple of glasses won’t weigh you down. Cellar-worthy and certainly one of the better investments you could ever make in pleasure, today and tomorrow. And to top it off, our selections hail from a great vintage that delivered pure, balanced wines with great verve and pep—just the sort of year that makes Muscadet a must-have for every table.
