La Berriere - Muscadet - Cotes de Grandlieu

The 2018 La Berriere Muscadet from the Cotes de Grandlieu is an absolute gem. We've always been smitten with this wine, and it's no wonder! It offers an amazing value for money, and its freshness makes it incredibly easy to drink. Hailing from the maritime - influenced Nantais region, this wine comes from the smaller, southern appellation of Muscadet Côtes de Grandlieu. Unlike the cooler Muscadet Sèvre et Maine up north, Côtes de Grandlieu has warmer temperatures and higher humidity. This climate gives the grapes more ripeness, resulting in a wine with a bit more body. But don't worry, it still retains that lovely refreshing acidity, along with soft flavors of apple, lemon, and white blossoms. While oysters are a classic match, we think it pairs splendidly with potatoes au gratin!

To enjoy this La Berriere Muscadet, first, chill it in the fridge for about an hour. When serving, pour it into a white wine glass. Take small sips to fully appreciate its fresh flavors of apple, lemon, and white blossoms. You can pair it with a variety of foods, but it goes really well with oysters or potatoes au gratin as mentioned. After opening, make sure to reseal the bottle tightly and store it in the fridge. Try to finish it within a couple of days to enjoy its best taste. And remember, it's meant to be a refreshing drink, so don't overthink it and just savor every sip!
