2017 Domaine des Tilleuls Muscadet "Venerables"
100% Melon de Bourgogne
ABV: 12%
Thanks to an authentic and shared savoir-faire, Domaine des Tilleuls is dedicated to producing high-quality wines that define and respect the terroir. The Domaine’s ambition is to create elegantly-textured Muscadet wines along with premium Loire white wines; each cuvée expressing the full potential of its grape variety and the typicality specific to each vintage.
The vines are an average age of 20 years old. The wine was aged and nourished on its fine lees until spring. Combining freshness, pure fruity elegance, and floral theme, this wine pairs with seafood such as oysters, shrimp scampi, and grilled sardines.
“Vines between 40–70 years old form the basis of this ripe, juicy, and deliciously fruity wine. With its refreshing acidity and zesty lemon character, it's rich and packed with fruitiness. Drink now.” - Roger Voss, 91 points, Wine Enthusiast
