Muscadet AOC

With piercingly crisp, lemony fruit and a bracing tang of the sea, Muscadet is one of France’s most distinctive, classic whites. This is a bright, citrusy 2016 from the excellent Bougrier family cellar. A thoroughly refreshing 250ml bottle.

The Wine
If you want crisp, dry and appetising in a wine, you can hardly do better than Muscadet. Having in the past lost out to New World wines, its winemakers are working extremely hard to win consumers back. Quality and value have never been better. Robert Parker described this appellation’s wines as “probably the world’s greatest white wine value”, while wine writer Hugh Johnson said “I can think of nothing more refreshing”. The region is the most westerly in the Loire, closest to the Atlantic, so its wines always seem to hint of the sea. You’ll taste that in this delicious white from fourth generation winemaker Noël Bougrier, who added a portion of lees-aged wine for extra complexity. Chill down and serve with seafood or light salads.
"Always a good choice for seafood. Beats all the trendy French whites for value"
