2011 Muscadet
Coteaux de la Loire Sur Lie Cuvee Tradition,
Loire, France
Muscadet
Coteaux de la Loire is one of the
four Muscadet appellations which dominate wine production in the Loire Valley Pays
Nantais district, on France’s central western coast.
This light to medium bodied
Muscadet made from the Melon de Bourgone varietal had aromas and flavors of hard
fruits. This thirst-quenching white provides
intense minerality, a slightly salty finish and crisp, clean green apple fruit.
This wine is a perfect match for oysters on the half shell and simply broiled
or sautéed fish.
Pierre Rovani, of The Wine Advocate rated this wine 90 points and said “This is unquestionably one of the finest Muscadets I've tasted! Its lovely, rich aromatics reveal pears, smoky minerals, and spice. Light to medium bodied, it has mouth-coating richness, fabulous balance. As well as loads of sea salt-covered nut, candied lemon/lime, and white fruit flavors. In addition, this bone-dry wine reveals a tangy, saliva-inducing element that simply cries out for food. Its finish is flavorful and admirably long. What a muscadet! “
