Country: France / Les Schistes Sur Lie
Variety: Melon Loire Valley
Winery: Château de la Ragotiere / Muscadet Sèvre et Maine
Schist soil is characteristic of the Muscadet Sèvre et Maine region. It gives texture to a wine such as this, with its tight, mineral character and great freshness. This complex, densely structured wine is packed with very crisp fruit and lively acidity. This is the perfect wine for Muscadet’s natural partner, shellfish.
