Delicate and fine muscat whites with a tender palate and moderate acidity, on intense and refined aromas of orange blossom, rose, fresh grape, citrus, white peach and airy muscat (more subtle than Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains). Made as aromatic dry aperitif whites (Alsace, Baden), off-dry and sumptuous botrytised liquoreux (Burgenland in Austria, Cotnari in Romania, Tokaj). Created in the 19th century by Robert Moreau (Angers), a cross of Chasselas × Muscat de Saumur.
Canada's oldest wine region (vines since 1611), Atlantic peninsula with cool maritime climate tempered by Bay of Fundy tides.

Acadie Blanc, fresh Seyval, chiseled Chardonnay. Excellent traditional method sparkling.
