Located in Le Landreau, in Loire Valley. Medium lemon color with aromas of stone and citrus fruits, made with Melon de Bourgogne grape, Sur Lie style. On the palate flavors fresh fruit, apple and lime-grapefruit with lively acidity, with richness from lees aging. Medium finish, ending with crisp fruit, lime citrus and yeasty notes. Drink now.

Nice. Light and refreshing. Not terribly complex but very drinkable.

Zesty, zippy, and refreshingly green - made a textbook pairing with Oysters on a half shell. :)

Very refreshing as an aperitif! Light honeydew melon, tropical pineapple, mineral water, and fresh lemon zest on the nose, juicy acidity and decent weight on the tongue. In two words: Vibrant and refreshing.

Underripe honeydew melon, lime and lemon mix with subtle white flowers. Great acidity, crisp, refreshing, wonderful summer wine! Chateau du Jaunay, Muscadet Sevre at Maine 2012. It doesn't pair with cheeseburgers and I don't care!

In the absence of oysters, pair with radicchio/frisée/bitter greens salad.
