VDF Muscadet "Gaia" (White) 2021

The Story: Jérôme Bretaudeau is known as a bit of a maverick in Muscadet- he grows grapes found nowhere else in the region, vilifies in every type of vessel imaginable and is constantly experimenting in the vineyard and the cellar. His Melon de Bourgogne wines deliver a distinctive minerality on the palate thanks to his granite soils. He makes both single parcel expressions and blends, to show the expressiveness of the terroir and the grape. Gaia is a blend of several gabbro parcels around Muscadet.

Match it with: Grilled shellfish, oysters or lightly smoked or cured fish.
