2009 Muscadet
Another summer favorite has resurfaced this year and we couldn’t be more delighted. I am talking about a beautiful Muscadet from the Loire Valley produced by Domaine de la Quilla. The winemakers, Laurence and Gerard Vinet, “mature their wine on the lees and bottle it in the spring following the harvest.” The time spent on the lees give the wine a little extra richness and body that we just love. The grape varietal, Melon de Bourgogne or Melon for short, is one you might not have tried, but it is high time you did. The ’09 Quilla is light and refreshing with flavors of melon and peach. It is absolutely wonderful with seafood however; the 12% alcohol lends itself to having a glass all by itself. At a case price of $8.95 per bottle you can certainly afford to enjoy this wine all summer. So much for the technicalities, just open a bottle and enjoy!
Salud & Bon Appetit!
