This delightlful “frog” Muscadet is happiest in its native habitat—close to the sea, where La Grenaudiere’s older vines are grown. It’s both lobster-rich and citrus-fresh, with loads of juicy and energy in between. Green apple and lime zest mix with Moroccan preserved lemons on the zesty nose; the mouth is clean, crisp and refreshing, with more citrus zest and sea salt touches. The finish lingers with hints of white pepper and chalky freshness. There is nothing that this food-flexible wine can’t play well with—bring on the oysters, break out the backyard barbecue, or just pop the cork with friends.
2009 Muscadet
7.2.2010
One of the many, many reasons we love Muscadet is because it’s a
low-alcohol wine with which you can linger at the table, long after the
sun’s gone down, without regrets (or headaches) the morning afterward.
And we couldn’t think of a more flexible wine too, that goes down so
well and so easily with just about everything you put on that summer
picnic table. (Oysters of course are the classic pairing, but we won’t
gripe if you can’t be bothered to shuck and prefer to go straight for
the salmon.)

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.
