Domaine de la Pépière Muscadet Sèvre et Maine sur Lie 2015

Muscadet, Pays Nantais, Loire, FranceMuscadet is one of my favourite wines, and Domaine de la Pépière is one of the region's iconic producers. Organic, native-fermented muscadet is aged on the lees in earthen vessels, buried in the ground for coolness and rest (no racking possible) until the following spring. Crushed stones, marcona almonds, lemon peel are grounded with savoury lees, scented with delicate white blossoms and crusted with a salty minerality. Light and lean, this streamlined white was born for fresh oysters (and vice versa). Less is more.Tasted: 13 September 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
