2010 Muscadet Sevre et Maine

We have been tasting a few Muscadets recently, because they pair so well with oysters. We had this 2010 Muscadet Sevre et Maine with some Manchego cheese and crackers and it was a nice way to begin a meal. This Muscadet is 6 years old and it still tasted fresh with a good dollop of acidity!
There is some interesting information about the 2010 Muscadet Sevre et Maine on the David Bowler Wine Site. The reason why it is called "4" or Quatre, is that the wine has spent 48 months on it's lees! The grapes come from very old vines on granite of Chateau Thébaud. About a third is sourced from vines on the less porous granite of Clisson.
