La Nantaise Réserve (187ml) 2020
Muscadet AOC
With piercingly crisp, lemony fruit and a bracing tang of the sea, Muscadet is a distinctive, classic white – refreshing and elegant. This is a bright, citrusy 2020 from the excellent Bougrier family cellar. A thoroughly refreshing small bottle.

If you love crisp, dry, appetising whites, you can’t do better than Muscadet. Having lost out in the past to the New World, its winemakers have been working extremely hard of late to win back consumers so quality and value have never been better. Robert Parker described the Muscadet appellation’s wines as “probably the world’s greatest white wine value”, while wine writer Hugh Johnson said “I can think of nothing more refreshing”. The region is right on the Atlantic coast, so its wines are wonderfully evocative of the sea. You’ll taste that maritime freshness in this delicious white from fourth-generation winemaker Noël Bougrier. For a quintessentially French experience, serve chilled with a bowl of moules frites – mussels and French fries.
