With cheese

Valençay Our pick Young Valençay is creamy and melting under its ash coat. A Muscadet aged on its lees in glass-lined vats, with no oak, brings brisk acidity and a saline edge that cut the paste and leave its fresh nuts clear.

History

Jo Landron established Le Fief du Breil as the estate's flagship single-vineyard Muscadet in the early 1990s. The cuvée draws from orthogneiss and quartz parcels.
