This delightful “frog” Muscadet is happiest in its native habitat—close to the sea, where La Grenaudiere’s older vines are grown. Green apple and lime zest mix with Moroccan preserved lemons on the zesty nose; the mouth is clean, crisp and refreshing, with a bit more juice and body, but finishes with a sensation of citrus zest and a sea salt kiss. There is nothing that this food-flexible wine can’t play well with—bring on the oysters or break out the backyard barbecue.
The sheer deliciousness of Muscadet...

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.
