French White
Louis Métaireau 'Black Label' Muscadet Sur Lie, Loire, France 2022
- 100% Melon de Bourgogne
- Practicing Organic
When it comes to a dry white wine it's hard to think of anything as enjoyable as a good Muscadet. Clean, crisp, mineral, refreshing, and a great companion to so many foods. In a land where wine production is overwhelming, typically machine harvested Marie-Luce and husband Jean-François (now in charge of the Metaireau estate) tend to their vines organically and hand-harvest the fruit. They add a few months of ageing on the lees for a softer mouthfeel and the result is a wine that is a step up from the rest.
