Tasting
A wine of excellence from old vines whose roots plunge deep into the granite subsoil of Clos de la Coudray, this Muscadet is the fruit of over eighteen months' ageing on lees. The nose reveals powerful aromas (smoky, candied fruit, etc.), while the palate is fresh and full-bodied. It retains a very mineral character enriched by more complex aromas. A superb wine for laying down.
Food pairings
A perfect accompaniment to fine fish (turbot, monkfish in sauce, pike or pike-perch with beurre blanc nantais), scallops, white meats and fine cheeses.
