About the Producer:
Established in 1885, Rémy Pannier is a historic wine producer in the Loire Valley, France. The estate is renowned for crafting well-balanced wines that authentically represent the region's diverse terroirs.
About the Region:
Muscadet Sèvre et Maine is a prominent appellation in the western Loire Valley, near the city of Nantes. This area is celebrated for producing crisp, dry white wines from the Melon de Bourgogne grape, benefiting from a cool maritime climate and diverse soils that contribute to the wines' distinctive minerality.
About the Grape Variety:
The 2022 vintage is crafted entirely from Melon de Bourgogne, a grape known for its light body, high acidity, and subtle fruit flavors. The 'sur lie' aging process, where the wine remains on its lees (yeast sediments) for at least six months, enhances its texture and complexity.
Style and Tasting Notes:
This wine presents a pale yellow hue with notable intensity. Aromas of white flowers and white fruits grace the nose, leading to a fresh palate with a light minerality. The 'sur lie' aging imparts a fine texture, resulting in a well-balanced and refreshing wine.
Food Pairing:
Rémy Pannier Muscadet Sèvre et Maine Sur Lie 2022 pairs excellently with seafood dishes, particularly fish with white butter sauce, shellfish, and light appetizers.
Trivia:
Muscadet wines, especially those from the Sèvre et Maine appellation, are often considered hidden gems in the world of white wines. Despite their high quality and excellent aging potential, they remain underappreciated compared to other Loire Valley whites, offering remarkable value for discerning wine enthusiasts."
