Muscadet is fast becoming one of our favourite wine regions. It's zippy, fresh style is quite simply delicious and pairs perfectly with seafood and long lunches.
However, its not all light and breezy, there's a cohort of producers producing incredible single vineyard wines, expressing the origins of the sites from which they came. Melon de Bourgogne is a relatively neutral grape, so its a perfect vehicle to express the nuances if the individual vineyards.
Gras Moutons is one of these individual vineyard sites that we fell in love at a recent blind tasting. There's notes of smoke, olive brine and a huge amount of savoury complexity. A new-style (to us, at least) of serious Muscadet that we adore, and we hope will be the next-big-thing!
