DESCRIPTION

The Muscadet sur Lie Les Salines from Domaine Gilbert Chon is a crisp and vibrant white wine born in the heart of the Loire Valley. Crafted from Melon de Bourgogne grapes grown on mineral-rich soils near the Atlantic coast, it benefits from extended lees aging, which adds texture and depth. The result is a wine of great purity and freshness, with a subtle saline note that reflects its maritime terroir. Elegant and refreshing, it is a quintessential expression of Muscadet.

EYE

Pale straw yellow with green reflections, shimmering with brilliance.

NOSE

Fresh and expressive, revealing citrus zest, white flowers, and delicate mineral notes of wet stone.

MOUTH

Crisp and lively, with flavors of lemon, green apple, and a subtle saline edge. The palate is clean and vibrant, leading to a refreshing, mineral-driven finish.

PAIRING

Perfect with oysters, mussels, and seafood platters. It also complements sushi, fresh salads, and soft goat cheeses.

Loire

With 2,000 years of history featuring kings'castles and fortresses, the Loire Valley is home to 31 appelations, starting in the Muscadet to the west near the Atlantic Ocean, passing by Chinon, Vouvray and the Touraine in the middle, to end to the famous village of Sancerre, located all the way to the East. This region cultivates 24 grape varietals which offer a very diverse tasting and culinary experience. From mineral whites such as Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc or Melon de Bourgogne (aka grape use in Muscadet) to light and spicy reds, such as Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir or Gamay. It is also France's third largest wine growing region, featuring a temperate climate and diverse terroirs influenced by the Atlantic ocean and the proximity of the Loire river. Enjoy white loire wines with goat cheese or seafood, and the reds with spicy cuisine and vegeterian dishes.
