IT’S MUSCADET SEASON ❣️🦪🍣🍱🍤🥘

Muscadet is a wine made at the western end of the Loire Valley in France, near the city of Nantes in the Pays de la Loire region.

It leverages a very specific grape to this region called Melon de Bourgogne. This grape variety was initially planted in the region sometime in or before the 17th century.

Muscadet wines are often light bodied and almost always dry with very little, if any residual sugar. Fresh and crisp, they are at their peak drinking ability from release up to three of years of age.

Muscadet wines that have been aged ‘sur lie’ (on the lees) can have very subtle "yeasty" aromas. The acidity keeps the wines light and refreshing, with a slight "saltiness" about them given the proximity of the Atlantic Ocean.

Serve Muscadet wines at around 50F. Classic pairings include seafood, particularly oysters, as well as well lobster, shrimp and fattier fish.

The moderate alcohol level of Muscadet allows it to complement many types of dishes without overwhelming them. Its light, crisp acidity can "cut through" (meaning it stands out against) rich, creamy dishes which can be a refreshing change of pace for the palate, such as eggs and risotto.

Taste our unique selection directly sourced from the family estate Domaine de la Grange Hardy. Meet Béatrice Hardy and her son Jean Baptiste who are happy to introduce their Cap Loire cuvee in this video made especially for Queen Of Wines fans 💝
