Goedhuis, March 2024
Muscadet is rightly regaining ground as a go-to for brilliant value white wines and Domaine Ménard-Gaborit is undoubtedly one of the region’s finest producers, now fully certified organic. The 2023 1ère Escale is aged for 3 months on the lees which gives a touch of creaminess to the vibrant citrus, peach, and pear. Lacy, delicate and fresh with gentle floral notes and a light minerality, this is a wonderfully thirst-quenching Muscadet and a marriage made in heaven with seafood.
Region
Muscadet
Extending inland across rolling plains from the mouth of the Loire at Nantes, wine production in the Muscadet region is undergoing a revolution. Historically, neutral wines with searing acidity were wine list staples in the local bistro. Now a band of artisan producers are striving to shake off that image with some outstanding hand-crafted wines. The distinctly marginal Maritime climate can result in delicate whites with racy finesse. The best Muscadet wines come from the sub-region of Sevre et Maine and are matured "sur lie" (on the lees).
