Region: Muscadet 

Variety: Melon de Bourgogne

What's in the glass: A serious, age-worthy Muscadet that shows just how compelling the style can be with time and site. Sourced from a single clos in La Haye-Fouassière, the 2018 opens with a subtle but layered nose—lemon peel, white flowers and a gentle honeyed note, underpinned by a stony, Atlantic minerality. The palate is bone dry yet quietly textural, with a waxy, lees-derived weight carrying flavours of citrus, green apple and preserved lemon. There’s a savoury edge here—think sea spray, dried herbs and a touch of almond—before a long, saline finish that lingers with real precision.
