Just in case any folks are still operating under the assumption that Muscadet is a sweet
wine, we're here to set things straight. Many people confuse Muscadet,
a wine named for the region of Muscadet, with the grape
Muscat, a grape often used in sweeter wines. Interestingly enough, Muscadet is not made from Muscat, but instead from a noble little grape
named Melon de Bourgogne. We love Muscadet for its lightness and bright tangy acidity. Traditionally a perfect foil for shellfish and other seafood, we also serve it with fresh goats cheeses, crudite, salads and hors d'oeuvres. The newest member of our Muscadet family is from a small winery called Domaine de la Bregeonette, run by Stéphane Orieux. The Melon de Bourgogne grapes are grown organically and fermented with natural wild yeasts and the resulting wine is crisp and dry with a minerally, almost salty quality. Dee-licious and only $13.95 a bottle.
