Crisp, dry whites with a pale robe, lean palate and lively acidity, showing delicate aromas of lemon, green apple, white flowers, pear, fresh almond and characteristic saline, iodine notes. Refreshing, ideal with Atlantic seafood. Star of Muscadet AOC (Sèvre-et-Maine, Côtes de Grandlieu, Coteaux de la Loire), aged on lees for added body. Native Burgundian variety (synonym Melon de Bourgogne), offspring of Pinot × Gouais blanc.
Traditional-method sparkling, a direct alternative to Champagne. Fine, persistent bubbles, fresh nose of green apple, lemon, white flowers, brioche and almond, taut and elegant palate (9 months minimum on lees, often 12-24). Based on Chardonnay (freshness and finesse) and Pinot Noir (roundness and red fruits), sometimes Aligoté, Gamay and Melon. Blanc de Blancs, Blanc de Noirs and fleshy rosé versions (strawberry, raspberry).
