Region: Muscadet Couteaux de la Loire, France

Certified Organic

Wild Scale: 2/5

Vegan friendly wine

Winemaking: Organically grown Melon de Bourgogne grapes were harvested by hand and fermented with indigenous yeast. No fining or filtration. Small amount of sulphur on bottling.

This Wine: Natural white wine made in the classic Muscadet style. Textured, mineral and savoury with subtle orchard fruit and citrus notes. Great by itself or with seafood. 

Notes on the Winemaker: Benoît and his father Bernard farm just outside Nantes in the Loire region (his Mum does the books). We visited the vineyards (Organic since 2010) back in 2017 and tried all his great wines but the Pet Nat's particularly stand out and he has only been making these since 2013.
