Wine Expert Note:

Pouring Domaine de l'Ecu's Granite Muscadet-Sèvre et Maine into the glass reveals a pale lemon color with hints of green. The nose is immediately captivating, with notes of fresh green apple, lemon zest, and sea spray, underscored by a distinctive minerality reminiscent of wet stones. On the palate, the wine is razor-sharp and precise, with a crystalline purity of fruit. Flavors of citrus, green pear, and a touch of salinity are supported by a taut structure and vibrant acidity, leading to a finish that is long, clean, and mineral-driven. The wine's texture and complexity make it an excellent choice for pairing with oysters, seafood dishes, or fresh salads. It stands as a testament to the potential of Muscadet when crafted with care and respect for the terroir.
