Nantaise

This exemplary Muscadet is blended from several parcels, all of which are organically certified and harvested by hand. It combines aromas of citrus and white flowers, with just-perceptible spritz and a long, distinctly saline finish, redolent of the nearby Atlantic. A great accompaniment to oysters and mussels, it also works well with hard cheeses such as Comté. Drink now to 2021.

The soils of the Gras Moutons vineyard are strewn with distinctive metamorphic rocks known as amphibolites, to which winemaker Sébastien Branger attributes this wine’s tense, mineral palate and salty tang. On the nose, expect aromas of lemon and white grapefruit – the ’09, recently tasted at the domaine, had developed gorgeous honeyed notes too, but remained fresh as a daisy. Les Gras Moutons can go toe to toe with many a Premier Cru Chablis, and is a peerless accompaniment to oysters. Drink now to 2025
