Muscadet, AOP Drouet 2018 White Wine

Flavour Profile/Aroma

Elegant and fresh, this is an easy-drinking wine. The Muscadet grape is known as ‘Melon’, so it’s fruity in taste with crisp and dry hints of apple.

You’ll taste the full flavour of this wine while it keeps its freshness and fruity aroma.

Recommended food pairings

A well-ripened cow’s milk cheese like Cantal is a great pairing. You can also enjoy this wine with all types of seafood, or even as an aperitif alone. It’s incredibly versatile, making it a firm favourite.

Growing Conditions

Melon de Bourgogne grape is dominant in the Loire Valley region. It’s grown with refined techniques that help it develop a fuller flavour, with slight carbonation for added freshness. The grape’s unique to the region: it’s not grown anywhere else in the world.

Winemaking notes

Well-respected traditional methods result in high quality wine the vineyard is proud of. This wine’s made with 100% Muscadet grape.
