NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This crisp, mineral-driven Muscadet from Michel Lelu is an excellent example of the Loire Valley's signature style.On the nose, aromas of tart green apple and white flowers are complemented by a briny, saline quality. On the palate, the wine is light-bodied with bright acidity and a saline minerality that lingers on the finish. Enjoy this wine with oysters, shellfish, or a light fish dish. Serve with oysters and drink within 4 years.
