Know Your Muscadet

  • After the deep freeze of 1709 destroyed grapevines all over Nantes, King Louis XIV ordered the region's vignerons to plant the hardy Melon de Bourgogne grape. "Melon" is now the only grape variety allowed in Muscadet, one of the area's tastiest exports.
  • Muscadet is a light white wine. In fact, it's light by law: Muscadet cannot legally exceed 12% alcohol. No other French wine is regulated in this way.
  • Muscadet works amazingly well with all sorts of seafood, and the best Muscadet has a near-briny minerality that makes it ideal with oysters and other shellfish. We choose these bottles because they all have that distinctively refreshing minerality, along with impressive balance and great versatility.
