La Nantaise Réserve (187ml) 2021

Muscadet AOC

With piercing crisp lemon fruit and a bracing tang of the sea, Muscadet is one of France’s most distinctive and refreshing whites. This Réserve cuvée was crafted from the pick of the excellent 2021 vintage and lees-aged for a little extra roundness.

If you love crisp, dry, appetising whites, you can’t do better than Muscadet. Having lost out in the past to the New World, its winemakers have been working extremely hard of late to win back consumers so quality and value have never been better. Robert Parker described the Muscadet appellation’s wines as “probably the world’s greatest white wine value”, while wine writer Hugh Johnson said “I can think of nothing more refreshing”. The region is right on the Atlantic coast, so its wines are wonderfully evocative of the sea. You’ll taste that maritime freshness in this delicious white from fourth-generation winemaker Noël Bougrier. For a quintessentially French experience, serve chilled with a bowl of moules frites – mussels and French fries.
