Wine Review: This almost clear wine with a tinge of white gold color opens with a wet stone and green pear bouquet. On the palate this wine is light bodied, balanced, and clean. The flavor profile is a mineral infused green pear. The finish is quite dry and refreshing. This food friendly Muscadet would nicely compliment steamed mussels or oysters. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: The Melon de Bourgogne grape, also called Muscadet, was brought to the region centuries ago from Burgundy. It flourished in this new environment and became famous in France for its ability to complement to saltiest of oysters and shellfish of the region.
