100% Melon de Bourgogne (aka Muscadet)   12.0% ABV

This ain’t your grandma’s Muscadet!  Wines made from Muscadet are traditionally light & crisp, meant for early consumption.  This wine is different.  Clisson is one of the top Crus in Sèvre et Maine, on the bank of the Maine river.  Granitic soils and 50 year old vines help explain the complexity.  After fermentation, the wine is aged on the lees for 60 months and is built to age!  The wine is deep and profound, with big flavor for a modest ABV wine.  Mathilde Ollivier and Stéphane Cottenceau represent the 8th generation of this family owned winery.  Golden apple, quince, lemon, hazelnut, brioche.  Compare it to a white burgundy when pairing with food.

Food Pairing Suggestions:
This elegant wine is simply sensational with baked oysters sprinkled with smoked truffle Pecorino, Alfredo linguine topped with succulent lobster, crispy veal cutlets over toasted polenta, baked shrimp scampi, grilled chicken with lemon vinaigrette over arugula, Cornish game hen with mushroom risotto, maple teriyaki glazed salmon with couscous and pineapple chutney and herbed pork chops with Brie and sautéed mushroom farrotto.  Or simply savor a glass with dreamy Tete de Moine, creamy Camembert, Halloumi or Brillat‐Savarin drizzled with a touch of honey.
