Domaine Derame, Muscadet Vieilles Vignes, Sevre et Maine, France 2018
Loire, France
Tasting Notes
Derame Muscadet Vieilles Vignes 2018. Alexandre Derame's Vieilles Vignes comes from extremely low yield 35-year plus vines grown on grabbo soils. The wine is aged for at least three years before release as this allows the wine to soften and open. This is an intense, linear and expressive Muscadet with bright flavours of green apple, oyster shell minerality, lemon zest and digestive biscuit notes from lees strirring. A tense nervosity with great complexity and challenges Muscadet's reputation (in the best way!) as an easy-going wine to be enjoyed young.
