Light delightfully refreshing not too sweet but for its style and deliverance is pretty much just right with its Intensity of aromas perceived in the mouth as fruity or floral.
The Wine:
Made at the western end of the Loire Valley, near the city of Nantes in the Pays de la Loire region. More Muscadet is produced than any other Loire wine. It is made from the Melon de Bourgogne grape as previously mentioned, often referred to simply as melon. Most appellation d'origine contrôlée wines are named after their growing region, or in Alsace after their variety. The name Muscadet is therefore an exception. The name refers to an alleged characteristic of the wine produced by the melon grape variety: vin qui a un goût musqué (wine with a musk-like taste. The sole variety used to produce Muscadet, Melon de Bourgogne, was initially planted in the region sometime in or before the 17th century. It became dominant after a hard freeze in 1709 killed most of the region's vines. Dutch traders, who were major factors in the French wine trade, encouraged the planting of this variety; they distilled much of the wine produced into eau de vie for sale in Northern Europe.
Now, try some you will not be disappointed.
