Muscadet Sèvre et Maine Amphibolite

In the glass

Aroma: citrus zest, white flower, wet stone, salt

Palate: lemon, saline mineral, stone fruit, stony finish

Single-soil Muscadet from amphibolite, a metamorphic rock. The cuvée expresses the smoky, stony mineral signature of this distinct geology, biodynamic certified.

What it pairs with

• Oysters with mignonette
  Saline mineral edge and shellfish brine align; stony finish substitutes for shallot bite.
• Sole meunière
  Buttery white fish meets the wine's salinity and stony lift.
• Steamed mussels
  Saline finish and shellfish broth lock together; stony mineral handles cream-shallot sauce.
• Sushi
  Tense acidity and saline mineral edge handle delicate raw fish without overpowering soy.
