GILBERT CHON 'Clos du Parc' Muscadet Sevre et Maine sur Lie 2024/25 Bottle

Description

This Muscadet (100% Melon Blanc) from Gilbert Chon is a beautiful example of why we should all be drinking more wine from the Loire Valley. Crafted from "Vieilles Vignes" or old vines, it possesses a depth and concentration that younger plants simply cannot match. The wine is aged "sur lie," meaning it rested on its lees (in a glass lined tank) for several months to develop a lovely creamy texture and a hint of fresh bread.

On the nose, it is wonderfully bright with aromas of green apple, lemon zest, and a distinct salty breeze that reflects its Atlantic home. The palate is crisp and incredibly refreshing, with a precise mineral finish that makes it the ultimate partner for local Jersey seafood. It is an honest and sophisticated white that offers fantastic value.
