Chateau de la Gravelle 2021
Muscadet, Pays Nantais, Loire, FranceNothing says summer more than Muscadet Sèvre et Maine. Château de la Gravelle farms 15 hectares in the heart of the Sèvre et Maine appellation in Nantes. The winery buildings date back to Louis XIII and include the classic windmill displayed on the label. A mix of sedimentary rocks and volcanic outfall is at the foundation of this wine that jumps from the glass with a bright, mineral, green freshness. The texture is creamy and laced with green apples, stones, citrus, and peach, with the perfect addition of time on lees (sur lie, as the French say). Summer fresh and food friendly.Tasted: 09 July 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $19.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
