cedar wood and earth notes and a light smoky mineral quality

In 1886 the first blocks of the Monte Bello vineyard were planted and construction on the winery begun

with simple fruity flavours and a prominent acidity typical of this varietal and terroir

The wines were vinified entirely in small oak barrels without malolactic fermentation

a subtle balsamic undertone

Famille Heraud Muscadet Sevre-et-Maine Sur Lie 'Clos des Perrieres', Loire, 2021 Bartolo Mascarello cedar wood and earth notesThis wine uses Melon Blanc (or Melon de Bourgogne), a cross between Pinot Blanc and Gouais Blanc. It is used almost exclusively to produce dry white wine from Muscadet Svre et Maine, the best known of the Muscadet appellations of the Loire Valley's Pays Nantais district. Make no mistake: this is not to be confused with the sweeter, notoriously aromatic Muscat variety it is crisp and dry, pairing wonderfully with salmon, oysters, scallops and shrimp.
