Country: France / La Noë Sur Lie
Variety: Melon Loire Valley
Winery: Domaine de l’Aujardière / Muscadet Côtes de Grandlieu
The Grandlieu lake, to the west of the Sèvre et Maine Muscadet vineyards, produces softer wines, like this. This wine is ripe, with hints of toast and vanilla as well as fresh and crisp apple acidity. It’s a full-bodied, rounded wine that is just ready to drink and will be better from 2016.
