Chateau L'oiseliniere Muscadet Sevre Et Maine Sur Lie 2020 750 ML

Chateau l'Oiseliniere is a 10 hectare single vineyard overlooking the confluence of the Sevre and Maine rivers. The color is a very pale yellow. There are very small bubbles, called "Perlant," that come from the Sur Lie vinification process. Citrus aromas of grapefruits and lemon skin on the nose. The wine is very fresh in mouth with bitter and citrus tones, well balanced with white flower and exotic fruit at the end. Pair with seafood in general but in particular oysters, sole meuniere.\n\nSevre-et-Maine is the department south-east of Nantes in the Pays Nantais region of France. These wines are known for their brightness and minerality. Muscadet is dry, crisp and clean in style. The best are made ‘Sur Lie’, meaning that the wine has matured on yeast sediment left from fermentation (the “lees”) for a period of time and is then bottled directly off the lees. This process rounds out the wine’s mid palate and provides texture to an otherwise very lean wine. It is the quintessential seafood wine. Chateau de l’Oiseliniere is one of the oldest and best situated estates in the region, dating back to 1337. As its name suggests, it is located on a bird sanctuary and natural park. The old vines are planted on volcanic silica, called Gabbro soil in this region, and is considered to be the finest soil for planting Muscadet’s Melon de Bourgogne grape.\n
